Once,father asked me : How do you think of me as your father? At that moment, I was stunned speechless by this sudden question, because my rash dad has never attempted to acquire any of our personal opinions or affection on this family. We are not kinda family who used to expressing the love, attention or care for each other or even revealing the intimacy or emotional intricacy. Shortly, I wrung an ambivalent reply: I have never thought of that. It’s destiny. Obviously, there is conspicuous note of dissatisfaction in this answer. Dad heaved a sigh immediately with an alien look on me. I knew instantly that I committed an irretrievable mistake in undermining my dad’s dignity and commanding presence in this family. My mom was present at that time, she was mad at my answer and blamed me soon after my father walked away: How could you, as the educated student, make such an irresponsible and hurting answer. You should say: I am lucky to be your kid and willing to be the one if I got another chance…Upon my mom’s harsh words on me, I felt ashamed and kept silent. Afterward in retrospect, I am again and again regretful of that reply. Actually, after so much turbulent ups and downs in the family, the concept of family gradually takes shape in my heart. It’s not merely unconditional love but the profound sense of responsibility that will contribute to the consolidation of the family. I knew mom toiled and endured all those years for the improvement of our life, I knew father learnt to shift his attention to us by and by, I knew some changes imperceptibly occurring to this has-been loveless and unhappy family, Mom’s sacrifice ought to be paid off yet she suffered again due to this dramatic event. Mom deserved more happiness and comfort, but she was tormented again by this desperate trial. Recently, I have thought of mom and the pressure she bore from time to time, I don’t know how to relieve her from emotional burden but make myself more capable and positive so as to create more material base for my mom’s future happiness. I swore, I will try my utmost to promise my mom a prosperous future. Mother, I do love you and appreciate your incessant sacrifice for this family. I will never that you down. Happy Mother’s Day!
