My Mom and Dad

I don’t know how my mom and dad got married and how I was born in this world, though it sounds funny to ask. My mom and dad were all jolly, not so jolly but classical. My dad often made fun of me by teasing me and saying “dugong” when I was a kid. I know I’m not totally like a “dugong” or I think sea monster in the other term. My dad was just naughty. He also wanted me to remove his white strands of hair in his scalp, which eventually made me think that it could be much better if there’s a fee every service. He’s also a kind of shy type person. He didn’t want to participate much when I need him in school. He’s quite often.

My dad usually goes to abroad and works. He had only 3-5 months of staying in our house, and it always happens in between the months of June and November. So basically, I still didn’t experience celebrating Christmas and New Year with him. Even at my birthday, but as far as I know and remember, we celebrated it completely thrice – when I was 1 year old, 7 years old, and the other one I forgot when it was.

My dad was usually hot-headed sometimes. Actually, there were biases in our family, that mom is to me and dad is to my sister. Even he made fun ofme, there were times that he still didn’t liked me at all. I think it’s because of my characteristics; well my mom didn’t like some of it either. Perhaps It was somewhat like he didn’t want to adopt me when such bad things would happen.

On the other hand, my mom was very sweet. She’s actually lovely. She did write letters for my dad occasionally, and instead of writing her name in the last part, she wrote either my name or my sister’s, or both. My mom was actually a music lover, which we inherited. She also loved to have pets, most likely love birds. She’s also a nature-loving person, typically loves to plant flowers and fruits.

My mom was a cheerful mother.She supported and guided me always in school, helped me whenever I needed her for my homework. She’s a strict teacher of me ever since I started schooling. As far as I know, she graduated Bachelor of Science in Education as my grandma said. My grandma told me that she’s a legitimately teacher, but she didn’t continue her degree to work, I don’t know why. My mother used to review and prepare me when examinations are coming. She made reviewers and answer sheets just to make sure that I could learn from the topic. Sometimes there’s a point that I made myself cry because I just can’t answer one of her questions based on the pointers I need to study for. It was really mind-cracking honestly, but then it happened only until when I was in 4th grade. She’s a soft-hearted mom, she did want me to learn well and I knew it was for the sake of my dreams and future.

Mom and dad were very hard-worker parents of mine. They were all jolly, tend to made our home jubilant. They were also great cookers. They always did such delicious and prodigious dishes that couldn’t disappoint us, except for the vegetable foods. They were all thrifty. My mom always saved money because as I remembered, it was dedicated for a new car. She’s really striving hard that time. But the

re was one bad thing happened. Today, my dad’s still kicking, but my mom already stopped almost 6 years ago. It is one of the biggest comparisons they ever had for now. I always felt miserable and incomplete when I was reminiscing that moment. But I do also thank God, forgiving me and us strength in my daily living with my sister. I appreciated and felt grateful for what my mom did to me when I was a kid, and it will be always a values or lesson in achieving my goals in life.
