Did I make the right decision by moving down to Sothern California.- stressful politices at work, not so enthusiastic staffs to manage, crazy bosses on your back 24/7, and the dead end career.... I defintely jumped into the worse job. But then I think about Mom's home made meal every weekend, Friday night wine tasting with Dad, and Saturday lunch with Mom & Dad to try out new cuisine ....building a closer relationship wiht them...Yup - I made the right deicison.
Maybe it's the culture, we don't frequently express our love to our parents verbally. I can hardly remember when it's the last time I said I love you to my parents..... In the past few years, I become appreciate them more, and feel truly blessed to have them.. maybe it's just simplily because I am older now, and they are older as well. Or maybe becuase I get to spend more time with them now after years of trying to be as far as away from home as possible so I can have freedom to build my own life that's different from theirs.
I enjoy Saturday morning Mother-Daughter walk with Mom - not just for the fitness benefit, but the closeness I feel every step we take together. I remember back in 2002 when I first move back to Northern California. Mom took her walk every morning and would call me on my way to work, and prayed with me. I was in the period of shutdown in life, so most of the time I didn't' pick up the phone. She would leave me message - everyday for 2 years - She would use God's words to encourage me, would use prayers to lift me up. Her faith and strength supported me through that dark period. If one day I can become a mom, I wish I can be half as good as her. Mom is woman of faith, her strength and positve attitute in life are incredable.
Although Dad didn't provide us a money-worry-free life as we grew up....but looking back I appreciates more on the principle of life Dad has passed down to us. Dad might have had a lot of bumpiness in his career as I can remember growing up. He might not be the most wealthy Dad, but he never lost his character and his principle. I feel so strongly in the past months that - Although I didn't inherit millions of dollars from Dad, but truely grateful to inherit some his character in life - righteousness.
Mom & Dad, thank you for everything you've done for me. I love you! I am looking forward to enjoy that glass of wine with you this weekend.
