A letter to a father and mother;

A friend, a parent, a wife, a husband

You took care of me when I was a baby, bathing me and making sure I had food.

You gave birth to me, I don't know how painful it is, but I can truly imagine.

You spent your salary to buy me clothes, to buy me things I want, to provide me with food, to send me to university,

and I don't think I put in much effort in my work.

But still you told me, never to give up.

You celebrated all twenty one birthdays with me,

Are not birthday celebrations actually for you, mama and papa?

You brought me into this world, you cared for me and sometimes we get rude, we answer back we scream, we get annoyed.

But I never really stop to think of what you've done for me.

When I was a child, you let me sit on your back, and you pretended to be a horse, galloping all around the garden.

When I was a child, I put toothpaste into your contact lenses and hurt your eye, but you just laughed it off.

When I was a child, I fed the fishes milo because I thought they would like some milo as well, and when you told me what happened, you just stroke my head and laugh at me.

You're hairs all white now, but without fail you go to work every morning, waking up at 6am and making sure we have our breakfast.

Making sure we go to school.

You bought a camera for me, when I said I had to have one.

You listened to me cry when I was child, you listened to me my wants and try to fulfill them.

And we're sorry, as children that sometimes we forget and do not appreciate things in life.

You always scold me, and I always hated it.

But now I know, that you do it because you want us to be a better person.

And at the end of the day you would hug me and kiss me on the forehead, because you love me.

You always say that your mother passed away when you were 21,

and that got me thinking how blessed I am to have you til this age.

Please don't go mother and father, what am I going to do on earth without you?

Who will guide me and hold my hand, who will watch me make mistakes and yell at me for making them,

who will tell me to clean the garden and clear them all?

I love you mom and papa.

I guess I can never understand how much sacrifice you have made for me.
