Do you ever have the
experience that you suddenly saw something and the picture at that
moment just stay in your head forever? I saw the eyes of a mother the
other day at big cactus’s home. She was looking at him when asking if
he needed to eat something else. The expression of those eyes are so
focused and caring, full of expectation to some extent. What was she
expecting? She expected to make sure that her son had a good meal, and
that he is happy and healthy. It was heart taking. I felt it the same
way as when I first saw Times Square in New York. My mother must have
been looking at me in the same way for more than 20 years, but I’ve
never paid attention. She was also telling me how much she wants her
children to come more often, which kind of makes me sad. Children
always take themselves as individuals, while their parents always take
them as part of themselves. Please pay more attention to your parents’
eyes, and make sure you will not regret one day when you cannot see
them any more. |
