Parents cannot tolerate their child, but the child can tolerate their parents!
Have you heard this saying before? I used to hear that from our neighbors before, and even in my parents.
My partner's parents are separated for seventeen years. But his mom meet a new partner, while his father stay single since the day they broke up. His father just stay as a father to his siblings, and didn't get a new partner anymore.
Last month my partner's father, who is living with his other siblings in Taytay got suddenly sick. It was diagnosed that he has a kidney stones. The doctor recommends an operation, to get rid of those stone. But his father refuse to have an operation, and they go for a second opinion.
The second doctor also said that he has a kidney stones, and also told him that he must have an operation. But their father don't want to have an operation. He was thinking about the expenses, and they don't have money.
When my partner learned about his fathers condition, he set a day to have a visit. But every day he keeps calling his siblings to know about his fathers condition.
It was Sunday when he visited his father in Taytay. Actually there were times, that he come to visit his father when he gets a chance.
His father look so weak and it already loses some weight. It becomes a bedridden, as it feels so much pain in his stomach, and it can't barely stand.
He feels so much pity towards his fathers condition. He also found out, that some of his siblings are not willing to take care of their sick father.
His father told him, that one to time he asked for food because he feels hungry but none of them came to offer him food. He tried to call his daughter who was currently lying inside her room for help, but it only answered him later and he must wait as she is busy. He also tried to call for help because he needs to go to the restroom, but he only get a "No" answer. So he had no choice but to pee in his pants as he can't hold it anymore.
He feels mad after hearing what his father told him. He scolded her sister for not paying attention to their father. As they know that it is very ill, and it needs some help.
Luckily his sister came to take care of their father.
Even his sister has a baby and a toddler, she still offered her hand to take care her father as she knows that it really needed her help.
I also feel relief because of his sisters' kindness. She really loved and cared to his father.
She stays to his fathers side until it gain some strengths. Furthermore, she was the one who help a lot to their father. While her other sisters didn't care.
Now their father is slowly recovering. He can stand, walk and gain some weights already. And it's because of his sisters love and care. My partner still come to visit his father, whenever he gets a chance to travel.
I couldn't imagine why his siblings didn't care about their father. As all i know their father do everything just to give them a good living.
Maybe they love their father but they are not willing to take care of it, if it's become a bedridden person.
Closing thoughts;
As our parents children, it is our responsibility to take care of them. Without them, we couldn't get a chance to see this world. Love and respect our parents, as they show us what is love and being loved.
Let them feel that they are being loved while we can, as we cannot promise the tomorrow.
I hope every child can realize the sacrifices of their parents. It is not that they asked for repay. It is that sometimes, they also needs some help from their beloved children's.
Thank you for reading ❤️
