My dad recorded a CD filled with songs dedicated to his parents. Since I don’t understand Taiwanese as well as I should, he explained to me the meaning behind some of the songs. After a two songs, he got a bit choked up and we just enjoyed his music.
I too, began tearing up. The love my dad has for his parents, and the way he unselfishly does everything for them (and us), makes me guilty at times. Would I ever be as good and unselfish as my dad? In his youth he worked hard to help his parents, and by the time he was my age, he was already a parent, working hard to take care of us kids. Why is it that I find it so difficult to just take care of me?
I’m glad I am who I am, and I can say it’s all due to my parents. I sometimes wonder why so many people blame their parents for their problems who “neglected” them in the past. They were trying to make life easier for you. Just because they never said, “I love you,” or only talked to you when you got a bad grade, it doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Geebuz! That shouldn’t mean that you can’t be capable of love either.
Gah, I’m ranting. This is why I moved my beauty related stuff to another blog. I like being able to rant and ramble about everything and nothing. =D

Do we get to hear these songs? It sounds verrry interesting. It’s still scary to me knowing what my parents were doing at my age, war, escape, survival, racism, job discrimination…. they didn’t have to say i love you. They do now, they’re americans now haha. But its weird hearing it XD.
