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.

The Essence Of Blogging

Previously... when I am browsing on the internet, I often faced with the passive site, which it only gave one-way communication. Read and finish, afterwards gone to other site (also read and finish). The only things that could be done was, click "Contact Us" and sent a message to the author. Then... emerge the messenger's technology, like mIRC, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger, etc. (referred to "chatting"). Indeed this was the two-way communication, but still not enough to keep tons of our thought and idea permanently. Now... by using the service from Blogspot, Wordpress, TypePad, LiveJournal, Facebook, Twitter, etc. it create a cyberspace with more live and enjoy. Anyone could share their thoughts, idea, story, and interact with each other in manner of two-ways. Moreover there are those who wrote "Welcome to my home" in a blog. I feel like visiting my neighbor although they were very far from me. I thought cyberspace has been get up from the the si...

Cause and effect - an musing

Why I write this post?? Because I see a lot of enmity actions, ugly debate, until the human tragedy that is the attack on the twin tower of World Trade Center (often referred to as WTC 9/11). Also flood disaster in China, India, United States, Indonesia and other countries. There were many horrifying incidents throughout the history of human life until today. What the wrong? Okay... okaaay, you can says that is the foolish question. Here, I write several happening which I worry about.

I ever heard a joke: Too many human cause human body also produces warm. Just feel in a room (3x4 M) with 1 person and with 20 person. Flood and landslide. Cause: cutting down the forest carelessly. Conflict, war, terrorism. Cause: egoism, claim on the truth. Pssst... I rarely heard the claim on the mistake (ha..ha..)....

Unwritten Law

Two days ago I experience a small accident on the road. A mother by taking her child by a motorcycle suddenly crash with my car. They fall beside of the car's tire, crying and shout out for help. Several people around us, including me, immediately help them. In fact the mother's wound was not serious, only a little scratch on arm and her child is fine. Her motorcycle has a little crack at splash guard part. Several people around ask me to be responsible (wow... though I am on the right side). They said, "Who bigger (car) should yield to the small (motorcycle)". Their intentions is who own the car should yield against who own the motorcycle. "What the crazy? Her motorcycle that hit my car, not me to her", I said with mumble in my heart. Here, I often found irrational opinion on several case of the road accident if crashes to an pedestrians. If you who drives the vehicle (car or motorcycle) then you who must be responsible anyway, even if you are true. But... ...
