Mother and Child - An Essay

Essay about mother and child

WHEN YOU WERE A KID
She feed you, but in return to her... you spew out your food and dropped the plate.
She bathes and cleanse your body, but in return to her... you always bed-wetting.
She guide you how to walk, but in return to her... you run away when she call you.
She teach you A-B-C-1-2-3, but in return to her... you scribbling the wall.
She buy beautiful clothes for your, but in return to her... you soiled her clothes.
She accompany you go to kindergarten, but in return to her... you shouted NO.. NO..!
She paid your study, but in return to her... you often absent.
She forbid you to watch TV show for adult, but in return to her... you wait until she go out and quietly turn on the TV.

WHEN YOU WERE A TEENAGER
She paid your sweet seventeen party, but in return to her... you continue the party until daybreak.
She drive you go to school but... you feel shy when the car stop in front of school gate.
She asked when you came late at night, but in return to her... you said "Oh Mommy, I'm grown-up now, don't worry".
When you married, she give full support, but in return to her... after married you rarely visit her.
When she has been old and need care... you send her to the nursing home because of troublesome.

And until ONE DAY... God call her and she gone calmly. I am sure at one time you will remember all beautiful memory when she be with you and the matters that you have not fulfilled to her. Will you crying? Oh, I said you're LATE !!! because your mother cannot sense your love any more, FOREVER !!!
"Don't cry, my child", she said from heaven.

    "Wisdom is found in the old, and discretion comes with great age..."
    -The Old Testament.

    Children also grow up and become mothers and fathers. The wisdom that you wish for them has to come to them with their own experiences. Like it has for you.

  9. I see that happen all too often. That's why I see and talk to my mother every day. I know what all she gave up for me. I only hope my children also know the same.

    Interesting you have a Sweet Seventeen party there. Here in the States, it's a Sweet Sixteen. :)

Christmas Contemplation When The Bell Ringing

A few days ago, I visited a mall to buy something. The atmosphere was very rousing with Christmas decorations and I believe also occurs around the world. Producers take advantage of Christmas moment to compete and increase sales with tempting offers, such as: discount 20%, 30%, 40%, buy one get one, etc. Parents are busy thinking of what gifts should be purchased, and children imagining of what the gift they will get. Many people calculate their money for the best holiday package. That's NOT wrong! But... when the bell is ringing.... Before: Christmas is the birth of Savior! Now: Santa, where is my gift? Before: That is the beginning of the redemption of our sin. Now: Let's be happy for welcoming Christmas and new year. Before: Jesus has come in simplicity. Now: Let's go holiday ! I'm just imagining the genuine spirit of why we celebrate Christmas has gone. And... in this opportunity, I want to tell you that the Christmas bell resounding the call to the soul to follow t

Chinese New Year 2560 - Gong Xi Fa Cai

On January 26th 2009 (Indonesian time) the Chinese people around the world celebrate the Chinese New Year 2560th (old enough I think). It's sometimes called the Lunar New Year . Following tradition, at the night one day before the first day of new year, all family members gather together for dinner. The chosen venue usually at the home of the most senior member of the family or at restaurant. After dinner, usually followed by giving the red envelopes ( Hongbao in Mandarin; Angpao in Indonesian) from married couples or the elderly to unmarried juniors, and the junior member give respect by saying the hope for health, happiness, and long-aged to the elderly. Prayer at the temples and visiting the other elderly relatives is the next schedules. In Indonesia, I noted that since the era of President Abdurrahman Wahid (also known as Gus Dur), the Chinese culture such as lion dance (Indonesian called Barongsai), the use of Chinese characters and Chinese red paper lantern for decor

VETO VS DEMOCRACY

In this post I only quotes the things associated with the two words above. Please use your sense and read carefully to find and feel the fundamental differences from it. VETO According to Wikipedia : A veto, Latin for I FORBID , is used to denote that a certain party has the right to stop unilaterally a certain piece of legislation. In practice, the veto can be ABSOLUTE (as in the U.N. Security Council, whose permanent members can block any resolution). In the United Nations Security Council, the five permanent members (the United States, Russia, the People's Republic of China, France and the United Kingdom) have veto power in substantive matters, though NOT in procedural ones. If any of these countries votes against a proposal, it is REJECTED , even if all of the other member countries vote in favor. According to Global Policy Forum : "The five permanent members of the Security Council (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States) ENJOY the privilege of veto po
