Times Like These…

My dad just called me from Guangzhou. I feel sad to say this, but I thoroughly enjoyed our little conversation.

The truth is, I wish I were more grateful than I ever feel the need to be with my parents. Parents give so much to their children and it’s truly sad because when can we say that we ever truly appreciate what they do for us? When do we go up to them and tell them that everything they have given us means so much? Hardly ever. And I feel sad because I should enjoy the times that I spend with my parents. I don’t think I spend enough time with my parents. More than ever, I feel the desire to go home and just spend time with them. It’s selfish, really. The fact that I haven’t thought of family bonding in so long. I just want to go home and tell them that I appreciate them.
