My dad may not be the most wealthy dad, we take public transport, we do not have aircon, we do not have a big house, but he gave whatever he could afford. We travel a lot when we were young, he was the sole bread winner and now retired for more than 10 years but he never asked us for money or whatsoever. He never ever stressed that we should be the ones taking care of all the household expenses or any of the sorts, not even when buying electrical appliances. He gave us all lessons that develop us to be people with culture and someone with at least some skills. He offer to wash dishes when he sees that we are all tired from a day's work, he makes tea for us every single time we asked for it. No complaints ever.
The most thankful thing I had towards my dad would be that he ever encouraged me to study Erhu, not just that, he wanted me to go Beijing or Shanghai. How many parents would encourage or allow or even, be the one to suggest their child to take this path. But I know I wasn't good enough for that. But deep down I was really touched and I kept on remembering that I have such wonderful parents who are always supportive of what I do even though they were a little worried at some points of my studies and my career. I know that I will never in my whole life, able to repay what my parents have done for me.
But I hope that I'll be able to provide my parents with more comfort and happiness soon and make them less worry for me.
They both are going on a trip to Tibet tonight, I hope for them safe flights and transport throughout the trip, that they will enjoy the trip without being down of any illness, not even the slightest flu or food poison or diahhroea and be back safely. I miss them already.
I love you both papa and mama.
