Nowadays, most of the parents and their children have difficulty in communicating with each other.
This situation is which we call the Generation Gaps.
To be frank, I didn't get along well with my parents, especially my mother. I
thought she was too garrulous. She took care of every aspect of my life, leaving me unable to have my private space.
About two years ago, I had a conflict with her. I don't know why I was in such
bad mood that day. I just couldn't control my bad temper. I said something hurtful to mum. Mum was hurt. I could read it in her sad eyes, but she went away with saying nothing.
As a matter of fact, I regretted having said foolish words after I did it.
When I was alone at home, I started to recall the happy time we spent together.
Suddenly, I was conscious of how stupid I was! I should not have hurt her,
my dear mother, who always care about me.
I knew I should apologize. But when I saw mum, the unhappy moments pushed all
the thoughts of saying sorry out of my head.
I came back to my bedroom, closing the door and feeling distracted. That night
I didn't sleep well.
The next day I got up early than usual. And soon found a letter beside my bed.
It was mum! In this letter, mum explained how she loved me and how she worried about me. The details of mum's love raced through my mind when I read it. I
couldn't help crying out. I went out of bedroom and saw mum standing there waiting for me.
"I am sorry, mum, Please forgive me! " I said with guilty conscience. Then I saw tears of happiness coming into mum's eyes. We embraced emotionally. That moment was totally in my memory forever.
From then on, if there is argument between us. We will write our feelings and
thoughts to each other. Then we can understand and soon get well.
I found this is a good way to communicate. Our relationship has improved a lot.
I really appreciate it. The letters mum wrote to me were collected. Because
I think there is nothing more important than them, at least now.
Mum has prepared a notebook. And now it's already full. I have to buy a new one and decided to send it to my mum as the Mothers' Day gift. I am sure she'll like it. Cause this notebook is called LOVE .
P.S.
This is a real story. The purpose I wrote it is very simple. I just want people to know that if you have problems with your parents, try to find the solutions. Never give up and never think that you have nothing to talk with them.
Remember: They are the persons who always love you and stand by you! Maybe they've hurt you before, probably just because they don't know how to express love
.
By the way, though Mothers' Day has passed, you still can sent your sincere regards to them. Better late than never!! And from now on prepare your gifts to
surprise your father in Fathers' Day .
But what I really want mention is, let them know that they are deeply loved by
you as soon as possible, which, I think is very important!!
