Family
*beep*…
- Mom, it’s been 3
years since that day. Next week I will
come home, and I really want to meet you.
I miss you so much mom!
Son, I… I cannot
hold my tear when I heard that. I will tell
everyone about this to welcome you.
-
*chuckle* -
Thank you mom, you are the best! Ah… I
have something to ask you… Can my friend
come to our house?
-
That’s
great! Who is that? We will welcome both of you, son. Also, he can sleep in our house for 2 or 3
days.
-
No, mom. I want him to live with us later on… He doesn’t have place to go, and he also lost
his arms and a leg.
-
What? What are you thinking? We cannot take care of him for his whole
life. He cannot work! A handicapped person will be a trouble for us,
so I don’t want him to mess up our life.
You have just come back from the battle field. I don’t want that happen, son.
-
… I see, mom… Goodbye mom!
*beep*
Two week after
the conversation, the soldier had not come back. His mother was very worried about him. She could not wait anymore, then, she
hurriedly made a call with the unit which he was in to check his status… After that
status report, the tears keep pouring down from the mother’s eyes. The officer reported that her son had jumped
from the top floor the previous week, and his body just had one arm and one
leg.
What would you do if you were in his situation? This is the story I read from my facebook. What do you think about this story? Is the handicapped son thoughtless? Do you think he knew his mother would do
anything to take care of him for his whole life? I am sure that he did. In my opinion, he was not a thoughtless guy,
on the contrary, he thought a lot. He
not only knew his mother would take care of him but also knew everybody in his family would do it.
Consequently, he decided to end his life rather than “be a trouble for
his family”. Moreover, I think his
friend was just his make-up person to know his family’s thought.
With me, that is family. We are unfair,
we do crazy things as if we are thoughtless just because we love each
other so much! We are unfair because we
put our family above our lives, we do crazy things to sacrifice for our
beloveds, we seem to be thoughtless because we know our family will encourage
and agree with every single of our decision even it is definitely weird in
other people’s angles. If I can smile
whenever I meet my family and make them smile, it is my happiness.
