Emotion Attraction Attachment Virtue Kindness Compassion
You remind me a story about love that happened in my life few years ago. First, let me define
the meaning of love to me. For me, love is an intense feeling of deep affection. Love is not
just about a deep romantic feeling or sexual attachment towards your partner but love
consist of a variety different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from
interpersonal affection or to pleasure. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and
personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and
affection. In the other hands,its also describe our passion, feelings or actions towards other
humans, one's self or animals. As love itself identified in a few forms such as familarity,
friendships, romantic desire and many more, i choose to give all my love to my family. They
are my backbone. As a teen, i always argue with my parents on many things. Till one day i
realised how valuable their love are.
"Parents's heart is infinite like the Pacific Ocean overflowing". Over centuries,
parenthood is always the most sacred and noble sentiment. From a baby to an adult, parents
are the persons who are always beside to protect and take care of us. They teache us how to
behave in life, gives us love and always forgive all of our mistakes. They follow our steps,
they are happy when we success as well as when we fail, they are the one who comfort and
share with us everything. They raise us up when we are down in mouth, gives us useful
advices and are willing to sacrifice for our future. So have you ever wondered yourself why
our parents always loves us so much and never ask to respond? If I can answer for this
question, I will say just because they are our parents.
I am a happy child when I was born and grew up in my parents's arms but I did never feel
and treasure what they did for me. I live in a comfortable life and I always consider that their
love are of course thing what I must have like a natural law. They give and I receive it without
thinking. Until now, when I am living far away from my parents even not a half circle of the
earth, I understand and know how much I love them.
My father is not a rich guy. My father just a clerk at one of the bank in Jitra when i was born.
To raise us, my father had to work very hard. I was the youngest among us three. I have a
sister and a brother above me. My mother is the greatest housewife in the world. She
manage our house greatly. So, my father is the one who has to work hard to make sure our
life comfortable and earn money for our studying. Unlike other friends in the same age as
mine, i had a hard childhood. Although we had a difficult life, but those things never made us
discouraged. My parents, they had never thought about quitting our studying. They told us
that going to school should always be our passion.
My mother, she was not only a beautiful woman but also an intelligent student when she was
in shcool. She told me that because she didn't have good condition like her friends so she
tried her best to achieve her dream. She said she wanted to become a policewoman
because this job could bring the happiness to people and she could help a lot of people. She
did tell me a lot of things about her childhood, what she experienced and how she spent her
childhood in poor. She was always my grandfather's pride. She told me that she couldn't
forget how my grandfather was so happy when his daughter get a good result in English
paper. Parents are always happy when they see their children success.
Meanwhile, through my father life story he taught me lessons about life. He always wanted to
give me all his enthusiasm with expectation that I would do well as he did when he in school.
He is the best student in his class. He never dissapointed my grandfather as much as my
uncles did. I am his youngest child, also his great hopefulness. He ever said to me, "You
must study hard because just only knowledge will help you not only become a good person
but also have a comfortable life afterward!" At that time, I didn't see anything useful from
those words. Sometimes I felt those were so annoying. Right now when I am mature, I newly
realize the lessons what my father ever taught me are so meaningful.
From a baby to a teenage boy, I was used to having my parents beside to protect and take
care of me. From small to big things, I always called my parents to solve it. And now, my
father, he is a senior officer, he still works very hard. His day always turns around two words,
family and working. I, his son, who live in my parents love, never know how hard he did to
supply for my life. I even didn't know how to say thank you when my father gave me
something and I have never say sorry to him when I did a mistake. I was ever a bad child. I
didn't know how many times I make them sad. I argued with them or was upset to them just
because small things. I had to confess that I hated them. I did become a selfish and
apathetic child.
I remember once when my mother was sick, I even didn't know that. I got up so late and
asked my mother to do breakfast for me. She scolded me because I was old enough to do it
by myself but I didn't do it. I was so upset with her because she didn't take care of me as she
did, that means she didn't love me. I thought I was not his son. I didn't talk to her for several
days although I knew that I was wrong but my pride was so big that I couldn't say sorry to her
until now.
Did you ever do anything that makes the people who always love you feel disappointed in
you? I did. In my life, I did many things wrong but thing always made me regretful so much
was to let my parents down. When I was twelve years old, it was about time I had to face one
important exam in my life, Ujian Penilain Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) exam. At that time, the
UPSR exam is important and difficult because it still decides your future instead of SPM.
While the time, my parents were always the persons who were beside to take care and
support me. They gave me many advices to help me get over my hardship. "Sweetheart, you
don't know how much I love you. Being parents, they all want their children happy and
succeeded. When you have a child, you will understand parent's heart" Indeed, I haven't
understood how great and deep my parent's love were for me. My school which situated in
the middle of my city, make my father to take me there for the PMR exam. My parents were
waiting me many hours in the heat of the sunlight before the exam location and prayed their
son to do it well.
Yet my result was not good as I expected. I couldn't study in the boarding school that I
wanted, so I had to choose other school. That time I was so self-confident that I couldn't
believe I fail. Through my school years, I was always a good student. I studied in gifted
schools, got high grades. I had no doubt that my parents were always proud of me. It was
like when you were in a high place, suddenly you fail down a deep abyss. I felt so
disappointed in me and bored of everything. I knew that I hadn't tried my best. I had been so
self-confident that I had put all my parent's advices out of my head. I closed my door, stayed
in my room and cried all day. Until now, when I remember, I see I was so selfish. That time, I
just thought about myself. I didn't care about my parents' feelings who were always beside
me. Their sadness and disappointment appeared on their eyes, I could see it.
My father, his face seemed have more wrinkles, and he was older. His bright face
disappeared, instead an austere face. He said to me," Honey, I know now you are very sad
but that's just a first challenge in your life which you have to get over. The most important
thing is you can learn from it and never repeat it again. Every time you fail down, you will be
more mature and stronger. You can't just stay in your room and cried all day. Please don't
pressurize me and your mother. You don't know how much we worry about you!" I would not
forget what my father's words that day. I knew that no matter what I did, I was still his son.
When I was so down in mouth, he was always the one who gives me a warm shoulder to
lean on.
We will never feel the love of our parents when you have them beside you. Just only when
you got trouble or in a hardest situation, then you could recognize it clearly. My unforgettable
memory about my mother is just last year when I got a serious sick and I need to undergo an
operation. When she knew it, my mother cried a lot. I rarely saw her cry because she was
always a strong woman but she did. She didn't have enough calm to solve it. I got over the
operation. Lying a hospital bed, my eyes couldn't see anything clearly because of anesthetic.
I opened my eyes and closed it many times. In pain, the first words I said, "Mommy, I am
hurt!" I just heard my mother's voice resounded from a far place, "It's ok, everything is over,
honey!" She said and continuously cleaned the tears rolling in my face. It took me five days
to recover. Through those days, she was very tired but she was staying beside me to take
care of me. I have never felt her gentle and warmness from her like that. The first time in my
life I felt I loved her so much and I was so grateful of her.
Until now, when my parent arent beside to take care of me, I know that the time I was
staying with my parent are so valuable. Although, they lives far away from me, they never
stops worrying for me. My mother said, "I am the one who gave you birth, so I will give you
the best things I have!". While my father does work very hard for me. He wants me have a
good education and a bright future. He said he didn't want to keep me in his arms, he wants
me to get out of my shell and discover the world. He knows that I will face many difficult
things in life without both of them beside, but he accepts to let me more mature.
Sometimes, I miss them so much, I wish I could have them beside to talk to me and hug me
in their arms. I don't know when I have a child I can do well as my mother and father did for
me or not, but I will never stop trying because of their love for me. They are always my most
precise present I have in my life. I do like a saying of anynomous, "Parents was my greatest
teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and forgiveness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my
parent is that sweet flower of love."
