it took me a damn friendster bulletin to realise this.
(friendster bulletin! of all things..)
ive never cherished my parents enough. ive always complained about how they alws threatened me to pay my own hp bills, how they alws tried not to give me an advance on my allowance, how they alws refused to buy me this and that, how they alws nagged about the state of my life.
but ive never realised how much it took to be someone's parent. i guess you'll just never know what youve lost until you lose it, cliche as it may sound.
the people who have not read my friendster bulletin and reading this now instead, pls go read it. if you cant be bothered to, ill post it here for you. this clearly states "mum", but of course, people, pls include your dad too.
and i really cried after i read this, cuz i realised how much my parents really mean to me, after i read the last part. and i cant bear for my parents to leave this world, no matter whether theyre going to a better place. and cuz some of the stuff here (although not all) kinda related to me, so yeah.
mummy, daddy, i really love you guys a lot.
even though i make an effort to meet them every sunday, ive realised now that its just not enough, its just 4 freaking days out of 30 (a month). how much is that?? do they really see this as how much they mean to me? i really hope not...
