Parents are spring.
Today, I go to school early in the morning. The weather was not like every other day, it suddenly became cold, making my heart feel nostalgic and homesick. On both sides of the road, people started to display flower pots and utensils to sell Tet with all the brilliant colors of apricot branches, peach branches, kumquat trees, lanterns, red envelopes… I wondered: So is another year coming to an end? Time has passed so quickly, it’s been more than five months since I’ve been away from home, away from my family.
I live in a place that can be called prosperous, because in this city almost nothing is lacking, but the only thing that this place does not have for me is the protection of my parents. I remember when I was in high school, every morning when I went to school, I was reminded by my parents that: children must pay attention to safety when going to school, try to do well in class, after finishing school, they have to go straight home, don’t yell Hanging out with friends… Those words that kept repeating every day unintentionally made me uncomfortable. I think it’s a parental bond. Because through the way of talking, I know that most of you in class are not like me, your parents don’t supervise you, you can go wherever you want, you can do whatever you want, whatever you want, your parents will also respond. . Naturally, I find myself at a disadvantage compared to you. Sometimes I blame my parents, why don’t you buy me a good phone, or buy me an expensive electric bike like you guys so I can be proud of them.
When I was a little older, when I went to school away from home, I realized that the word “family” is sacred, more precious than anything. Now that I think about it, I realize that thanks to the reminders and supervision of my parents, I have grown up like I am today. Going to school far away, every night, I call home, don’t have to spend big money, simply ask about my parents’ health or family’s work… That’s all, but every night I Calling back, because I want to hear the reminders of my parents, feel the love of my parents for me, help me relieve my homesickness and miss my family.
I still vividly remember my father’s advice before I went to school: “Away from home, you must be confident and strong to take care of yourself. When I was at home when I was sick, my parents took care of me and took care of me. When there’s something heavy that can’t be done, parents will help. When it’s time to go away, no matter how difficult it is, you have to be self-reliant and try, no one will help you like a parent.”
Remembering my father’s advice, tears suddenly fell. I love my parents very much. I know that my parents at home are always “eating, fasting” to accumulate money and send it to me. I know there are times when my parents don’t have enough money to send me, but they still find ways to make money, even if there’s anything they can sell in the house, they all sell to take care of me. I remember my mother’s joke: “I’m a banker, now that my parents have money, I put it all in the bank. Five or six years from now, the parents will take the interest.” Or my father’s funny saying when sipping a few glasses of wine with some friends: “This herd of cows belongs to my daughter, not my husband and I”. Although it was a joke from my parents, it was very true. No matter how much my parents have, they take care of their children. All for the sake of children. Therefore, I always remind myself to try my best to study well so as not to betray the love of my parents.
Every night, after prayer, I pray to God for my family, I pray for my parents first, then me. Many times, after the beeping of the phone when I call my parents, I cry and cry because I love my parents so much, I am grateful to my parents. Parents do whatever they do with the purpose of taking care of their children’s future, hoping that their children have a better future and life without thinking about themselves. My parents used to say to each other: “Take care of your children’s food, clothes first and then yourself”.The love of our parents for us is very great, very sacred. I consider myself very lucky and happy. Although looking up, I still lose to many people, but looking down, there are many people who are not as good as me. Because their families are facing many difficulties: difficulties in meals, illness, or separation of families, children lack the love of their parents, etc. I feel indebted to my father. my mother a lot. I want to say to my parents: “Dad, up until now, everything you have done for me, I have never once expressed my gratitude, or simply said two words “Thank you”. But you know what, I really love and appreciate my parents. Parents, please wait for me, I will turn those two words “Thank you” into actions to repay the love that parents spent all their youth to take care of their children.”
