I was just thinking, some parents don't want their child to grow up.Why is that? After much thought, I came up with a reason which, to me, sounds reasonable. You know how a child goes through many phases of growing up. One of which is the crawling and another, the walking. I guess some parents don't want their child to grow up because if they grow, they'll learn how to crawl and eventually learn how to walk. And they're afraid that after learning all that, they'll walk AWAY from them. They want a child to be forever a baby so that they can take care of him/her always and not having to worry that they'll mix with bad companies, walk out on their parents, doing some illegal stuffs, etc, etc,etc.. Get it? Oh nevermind, I'm just trying to express what I'm thinking. =) If I were a parent, I wouldn't want my child to grow up either. I don't want them to learn how to crawl and walk.. But, it's how life goes, a child will become a teenager and then adult. Parents can't tie them down forever that is unless the child marries the parents. It's hard to let go of your child, like letting them out of the cage and they'll make a new home and stuffs like that. But that's cycle of life, something that you can't prevent from happening. So the least a child can do to repay whatever the parents have done for him/her is, to always remember them eventhough you live at 2 different ends of the world. Call them, let them know you're thinking of them. That's enought to put a smile on their faces for a week!! It's never easy to let someone you love so much go and have their way. Try to understand them if they don't want you to move too far away.. Remember, you're always a child in their eyes.
Well, it's not like I'm a parent myself, it's just that, somehow... I know how they're feeling.. Believe it or not..
