Pencil and Eraser

PENCIL  Says:

I'm sorry

ERASER  Says:

For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

PENCIL  Says

I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake,
you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you
lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

ERASER  Says:
That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was
made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I
know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy
with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.



I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very
inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the
pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes.
Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and
eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new
(spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children,
and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is
my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day,
all that I'm left with would *be eraser shavings and memories of what I used
to have*.



     This is to all the parents  AND children out there

A Poem by Victor Hugo "I wish you"

Image
First of all, I wish you love, and that by loving you may also be loved. But if it’s not like that, be brief in forgetting And after you’ve forgotten, don’t keep anything. I wish that wouldn’t happen, but if it does and you forget, you could be a person without desperation. I also wish you may have a lot of friends, And even if they are bad and inconsequent, They should be brave and true And, at least one of them, should be completely reliable. But because life is the way it is, I also wish you may have enemies. Not many or too little, just in the right number So that you will have to question your own certainties and truths as well. And may there be among them at least one who is just and fair, So that you can never feel too secure in your ideas. I wish you may be useful but not irreplaceable And in your bad moments, When you have nothing else, That sense of usefulness will keep you on your feet. So equally, I wish you to be tolerant, Not with those that make little mistakes,

Your half birthday

 Dear Eri, tmr is your half birthday. We’ew still looking for an apartment it’s very difficult to find a good apartment here because I don’t have a stable job and I’m really worried about it, not  only me but also your mom. Last night I visited a very great apartment I don’t know how everything goes I hope we can get it and it’s a very good one but honestly I’m really worried.  If it was me alone here I didn’t have that much concern but since you are here and I do care about you I’m really worried and also stressful I hope everything goes well.  Now we all are in a park, the park that’s for a new year I came here and I wished that I can see you all here soon anyway you are here now but I’m looking for a grate apartment  for you so we can stay together and be happy.  We don’t have that much time just two weeks until we can find an apartment. Being responsible as a dad it’s not easy.  I just came here to the park to talk to the river to talk to the water again and ask the universe to hel
