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. :)

    Mother is the best person we ever had in our life. No matter what we do, no matter what we have done to her..She always love us more than her own life. This is very touching post. I like it so much and hopefully you'll like about Promo Member Alfamart Minimarket Lokal Terbaik Indonesia which i have join too. It's about how to get bonuses and discounts while you shop in Alfamart. One more thing is from yamaha which has just released their newest Motor Matic Injeksi Irit Harga Murah YM Jet-Fi as they claimed to be the most efficient motorcycle. This is truly great. thanks and you are awesome.

Five things I am proud of

I am typing this post while accompanying my baby sleeping at night. Jim Belshaw from Personal Reflections site, as I read on his short profile is a manager, strategic consultant, freelance researcher and social commentator, has asked me to write about 5 things I am proud of. And below is my duty for Jim. Become a father . I do not have a child during the first three-year marriage. Problem? maybe not in western but few bother here. In a relax chat people often ask : "How many children do you have?". While joking, my best friend ever said: "You're not yet being a real father until you have a child". Hmm... an uncomfortable question. But now I have Ely and Alex. Maybe Jim or readers will be laughing at me for this one, ha... ha... Not an unemployment . Really I will feel low-self if it happened. Harmonious with my siblings . Care each other when in trouble. Of course I need harmony with other people but with own siblings is the fundamental thing. My parents live w...

Long journey for alcoholic beverage in Indonesia

Two sides of the wish. Circulation of beverages containing ethyl alcohol (alcoholic beverage), such as Beers, Tequila, Vodka, Martell, Johnny Walker, Hennessy, Wine, etc, seems to still be a prolonged debate in Indonesia as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. MUI (Majelis Ulama Indonesia / English: Indonesian Ulema Council ) as the highest Muslim authority in Indonesia has issued a Fatwa that stated "Haram" ( Haraam / forbidden) for these type of drinks. I believe that all religions in Indonesia (Islam, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu) including all good parents do not want their children to be a drunkard. In this case, I think, Muslim community is more extreme against this alcoholic beverage. On the other hand, Pancasila is the philosophical fundamentals of the state, and the national motto is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (Unity in Diversity). The country need to protect pluralism and diversity in the society under "one umbrella". It...

Dam burst tragedy and three important notes

On Friday, March 27, 2009, Situ Gintung dam at Cirendeu, Tangerang, southeast of Jakarta, has broken-down and the water flooded like a small tsunami, washing away cars, houses and settlement area. Ninety nine people were killed and 102 others were missing (update the number of victims from www.kompas.com on Tuesday, March 31, 2009). My condolence for victims and their family. From all of that, there are three important notes that I want to share through this blog. First , it is indeed the embankment that broken-down was caused by excessive debit of water. Situ Gintung levee was originally built under Dutch colonial authorities era, only able to accommodate 1 million cubic of water, while the debit of water before the incident has reached 2 million cubic of water debit. There should be early warning for residents who live around the embankment when felt there was something that threatens the safety of citizens. In Situ Gintung actually already there, but not work well. Second , allotm...
