Omg break is going to be full of adventures, etc. Sike. I have not done anything at all this break, except on friday, saturday, & sunday. But up to now, I've been home. I guess I realized no matter how much I'd want to hang out with friends, catch up, eat out, etc, I know how to prioritize. My mom's been sick and its been awhile since she has been. I took the responsibility of taking care of her because I know if the positions were switched, she would have done the same. I'll admit, at times I get restless, eager to leave this house and do whatever. But I can't & I won't until my mom feels better. It's not the best way to spend break, but its assurance to her that I do care for her. Sometimes moms need that.
Sometimes we as children assume that our parents know we love them. That whenever we tell them "I love you," they know we mean it. But hey, they have doubts too. Now that were in our teen years, we tend to get caught up with friends, having, fun, etc. We don't realize that our parents still want to be part of our "busy" lives. We push them off because in the back of our minds, we know that they will always be there. But it hurts them, a lot. They may not show it, but it affects them. And growing up with just me and my mom, I'd give up anybody or anything in order for her to feel my appreciation and love towards her. I hope everyone feels that way about their parents. Wait, everyone should feel that way towards their parents.
Just my two cents, folks.
