I am a bit surprise my parents talked to me about their will just now.  The contents is ….. I will keep it to myself for the time being until My dad talks to my sis (sis, if you read this, dad will call you tomorrow morning).  I feel that my dad was asking me about my opinion on what he has in mind.  How could I ask anything more from them, they brought me up, gave me whatever I need to become succeed in life, and now I want more from them again?

My parents’ health is still very good.  I think he wants to prepare for the inevitable and do not want us to fight over the inheritance.  Tear in my eyes …. afraid they will leave us soon.  I always have my parents to turn to whenever I need guidance, assistance, and support.  I do not even know what that day will like.   So many old memories just came back to me: I remember my dad took me on bike for the first time, my first bicycle, my dad taught me how to ride a bicycle, my brother trashed my bicycle and my dad bought me another one, the day we lost our house, my dad taught me how to ride a motorbike, my mom taught me how to drive, ran into my first car accident and my dad came to my rescue, I refused to go oversea to further my studies, my mom and I cried together that morning I got married, the angpow I gave to my dad and my mom told me my dad keep the angpow in his pocket for many months, the morning before I gave birth to Nee and I saw how happy and anxious they are ……

My sis was telling me she read an article about economy down turn which led to a lot of fresh grads to be umemployed or cannot find a job.  The article says some parents change to smaller home to prevent their children move back to their house.  This must be a western thinking.  I just moved back to my parents’ house with 3 kids, and it is my parents who wanted me to move back here.   I do not understand a lot of things but one thing I value very much is family ties.
