Single Parent

Some people do ask me if growing up in a single-parent family has any impact on me. The answer is a definite "Yes". We are after all human being with feelings and whatever loss we experience since young will have impact on us.

To me, marriage is for an enternity and as much as we want it to last forever, we still have to live by the moments, meaning cherish every single moment that we have with our love ones.

We will never be sure how many moments we still have in this world, isn't it?

There are many times I still don't really understand why couple divorced.

Though the time I spent with my dad was a short one, lasting merely for 12 to 14 years, I must say that his influence on me is alot.

When young, I have always seen how my dad showered his care and concern on my mommy. He spent every single moment that he has bringing her on holidays, going for tim-sum (Chinese tea-break) and snapping photos of her.

My daddy really loves my mommy alot and he worked really hard, taking more than ten accounting assignments home so that he could provide more for his family. Yet, no matter how busy he was, he would spent his time guiding me in my studies and he would then worked till late into the night.

My father was a great man!

My mother once told me that despite the time she spent wth her husband was only a short one. However, she always remembers all the things he had done for her, such as looking after her when she was unwell, doing most of the housechores and strivng so hard to father me from cooking my meals to bringing me home from school...

My father once told my mother that he would do his best to provide everything that my mother deserves. He tried his best and he did his best.

How did it impact me? I remember his words of greatness and love and I stick to it everyday to the best I can.

Were you born in a single-parent family too? How has it affect you since young? I would love that you can share with me.
