Grow Old With You

I happen to find this video in facebook. It was posted by a colleague. I like the simplicity yet sweet message of the video.

Yesterday, I went home after hearing my mom cried over the phone. When I got home, she told me what happened. My mom is a very emotional woman. She can’t help sobbing while narrating to me what had happened. I tried holding up my tears but in the middle of her story I broke down in tears also. I hate seeing her cry.

Then she said that she’s been hurt by what happened and threatens to leave us. I can’t stand the thought of her leaving us. I grew up and she’s always been there. I almost thought that my mom is forever and the mere thought of not seeing her is really scary.

She told me that she has somewhat voiced out the same sentiment to my father and according to her my dad do not want to stay and look after us, he wanted to go with her wherever she might go. That heightens the sadness.

I know that they have been loving each other more as they grow older. I like the thought of my dad not wanting to part from my mom but I do not want them to leave us either. I always thought that my dad is so lucky to have my mom. She’s the most caring, compassionate, and selfless person I know in the world. But now I realized that my dad loves my mom also. Maybe he’s not just being transparent about his feelings all these years but I know he also loves my mom so much. I never knew of any woman linked to my dad. He never left the house to go to some bar or whatever places guys would usually hang out.

I don’t know how exactly my mom and dad fell in love with each other but my mom told me once that she had been through a lot just to be with my dad.

The video I embedded above just made me remember my parents. They are growing old now but I’ve been witnessing that they are becoming closer and closer to each other. I love you both.
