Dear God,
It’s been almost 15 years since I was born unto this world.
When I had my first crawl, walk and other stuffs, they were always at my side.
When I opened my eyes for the first time, they were the one I saw first. Even
though that I cannot remember any more about my past life, there’s one thing
that I know; they guided me, took care of me and loved me for so long.
Once, one of my teachers told our class, “You’re one of the
luckiest persons and children in the world because even right now, you still
have your mother and your father.” That’s correct for that I already met those
that somehow lost one of his parents or other tragic events. Even though that I
just think of it, it is difficult to be overcome and to meet each day knowing
that fact.
I know that I am one of the luckiest people. I still have
my mother and my father. I can be with them always. They’re always at my side
and whenever I have a problem, they have their own advises which always help
me. They took care for me for almost 15 years and it will be longer. They have
their patience whenever I’m becoming a stubborn person.
I know God that there are times when my stubbornness reaches
its limit. I cannot even imagine how they can endure those moments and what
kind of magic they have because they can calm me down. I still remember when my
parents tell me my childhood days. They said that before, I strike my head on
the wall whenever I cannot get what I want. The only reason that I can think of
why that mannerism disappeared is because of their magic.
Yes, I know that we have arguments and some
misunderstandings. Mostly, the cause of these arguments is my immature
thinking. They always say that the one registered to my mind is that I’m always
right. Yes, I admit it, I’m always like that. I know that it’s a bad attitude
and I’m very sorry about it.
No words can describe the things my parents did for me and
also for my brother. They raised us to be a good, decent child. The things that
I have now are because of what they did and what they sacrificed. The thing
that I reached right now and even in the future is because of what they did. If
it weren’t for them, I will not be like this. If it’s not because of them, my
life is nothing but a ruin.
Lord God, I am so thankful that I was born and I was raised
by my parents. I don’t know how I can pay or return the good deeds they did for
me. I just wanted to tell You that I just wish that my parents will have a good
life to come. I wish that they will be happy and they will have a longer life.
I cannot express much about the things I wanted to tell them. The thing is that
I love them very much.
A Proud Son of My
Parents,
Jeremiah
