RE: A Rice Shower - May 5th, 2024
A story that moved me.... (Real or fictional? 😊)
But whatever it is, I realize that the journey of life begins with parents, how to raise children so that they have character and love for their parents.
This is a valuable lesson that I learned from my parents who have left this world forever. I realized that they (parents) were everything in my life.
I remember a precious moment when I had just graduated and had a job, my parents' health condition had declined due to age. I only have one wish and that is to make them happy.
They don't want anything, money or their favorite food, but what they need is for me to continue to wish them the best.
My savings have started to be sufficient to buy a second-hand 4-wheeled vehicle. I took the initiative to buy the car for routine consultations with specialist doctors, compared to previously having to rent public transportation.
I am happy that I am able to make them smile, be there when needed and most importantly always be ready when the worst conditions occur, referring them to the hospital without having to rent public transportation.
Even though they are now gone, I have adopted this learning to become the most important part of parenting my son and daughter today. Even though they don't treat me the same way, at least they (my child) realize that both parents are the basic elements for him to be successful.

The story, my adventure, from yesterday is true. Since you are my friend I'll tell you I rarely make something up. I might use symbolism, sarcasm or... But each word said and written are facts.
People easily believe I make it up or don't mean what I say because of the way I say it or I smile but it's wise to listen to my words only if I speak (I am not talkative by the way).
Within my family and among my friends irony, sarcasm, black humour is normal and we laugh a lot.
No one feels hurt which is a good thing too. My son does his best and it's difficult for him to be alone. He called me 3-5 times a day although he doesn't speak much I assume it comforts him. I let him clean the trunk of the car (8 liters of gasoline leaked) while I mowed. He's back to bed. I'll see if he gets out later to eat or will sleep till the next day.
It's fine with me if my children go their own way, live their lives. It's important they find their ways.
If it comes to it I have at least one daughter who will take care of me and so will my son. He already helped a lot from two years old. They never let me carrying anything and he cooks, cleans, does the shopping and carries me if I can't stand up (for years I spent most time in bed. That was the time I started on Steemit/so most posts are written while I laid on my (left) side. It took me an hour to turn around by myself and to stand up).
It's great you managed to buy a vehicle it does make life easier. It's great public transport exists but it's always thinking ahead, calculating time and hoping it shows up. It was a super gift since it also made them function independently for a longer time. I know that would be important to me.
I always stayed home and didn't care about how long it took me to get in and out bed or take the stairs.
To make someone smile is all that counts. I could do so to my son with a spicy meal but also with some socks and above all a hug. If he needs one he asks for it.
I hope how we are as parents will have its effect. I think it will since I still remember what my grandmother said, the housekeeper and each person that impressed me in some way.
Thanks for reading and sharing a bit of your experiences with me. Know I am thankful for that.

Heheh... I'm just kidding and I enjoy reading every part of the story you write. This will be an inspiration for me to improve my bad writing patterns. I don't have good writing skills and I'm sure I will be able to do it in the future by reading and reading often.
I invite you if one day you return to Indonesia, we might be able to talk about many things while enjoying a cup of speciality coffee here.
Or are you the one who invited me if one day you have the opportunity to visit the land of Windmills, my nephew often goes to the Netherlands because of office duties, especially as Aceh and the Netherlands have historical value that will never be lost to time?
I don't think your writing skills are bad you are by far not boring. Is there anything you are enthusiastic about? Write about that and in a way as if you speak to a friend.
If you like to try different writingstyles change that friend into an idiot or child, an elderly person or a clown.
You can also try to be the stand up comedian. How would a comdedian tell about his day?
Since you have humour you can write that way too. Try it out with shorter texts. Not too short like maximum of 50 or 140 words. This is way more difficult but a good practice too. How to tell about your day if you have only 200 words?
I don't drink coffee but if you are around I will invite you.
I hope the bonds built between the countries will not be wiped out. There are many Indonesian peoe living here, mixed marriages and the food became dutch to many of us. Even most chinese restaurants and takeaways mixed their dishes with indonesian food.
Tag me if you wrote a story or funny diary.
