My+Parents


 * My mother is waiting for me. First she used to say **


 * “You have been gone for 4 months and 5 days.” **


 * Now she says, **


 * “You are coming back in 2 months and 28 days.” **


 * She has counted every day that she has passed without me. I have been in Australia for two years. I have called her every day…sometimes even eight times a day. Not because I miss her…but because she has to hear my voice. My voice gives her the strength to go on. If I had had the faintest idea of how miserable my mother’s life would have been without me, I would never have come here. It was just not worth it. Her eyes showed me that she had been crying for days before my coming to Australia, but she was silent, very silent. She did not want me to leave her but she never stopped me. I can read her face, her mind, she doesn’t have to say anything, and I understand her. **

 * The Pakistani government, does not look after its old...or young. It just looks after itself. For a Pakistani woman her life is her children. .....a Pakistani man's life is his life. But my father was different. When I see him playing cards with my children, watching movies with them, bringing them Coke and chocolates, I remember fondly, how he used to spoil us. The rule of the thumb was, as long as you secured the first position in your class, all was right in the world! **


 * As long as my parents are in Pakistan, I am never leaving Pakistan again. I should have never left them in the first place. They gave me all, when they had nothing. My parents need me. **


 * I am a Muslim. I firmly believe when God wants me, he will take me. No matter where I am, he will find me, when it is my time. Although, I agree that he might take me quicker in Pakistan. I just hope and pray he takes me in one piece …and I am not scattered all over the place. **

__** Moral of the story **__
 * I could never love my parents as they love me. They have always been there for me. I have never been there for them! **


 * I am going back …..to take my parents to the hospital, to do their groceries and bring them home cooked meals. **
