When My Beloved Father Dies

    

     Have you ever imagined about the end of the world? At the time finally I know how it's happened. The world was fallen down in front of me. Someone whom I loved in this world had disappointed me. I never thought that my father would pass away so fast, but he did, and that event changed me and my family completely. In this article, I will tell you about what my life was like before, why I decided to change, and what my life now is like.
    I am the older of two sisters. As an older sister, I found that I was scolded more often than my sister. My father used to say that I had to succumb because I was more mature. I was very upset to hear such an expression. I thought that my father loved my sister more than me. Therefore, I often cuddled up to my mother even for the slightest thing; for example, I used to ask my mother to help me take some food when I was hungry. I was not concerned at all with how they felt, what they thought, and what their problem was at that time. It was as if I had just wasted my time with my family. 
     Then one day, my father got sick. When he got really sick, he used to ask me to massage his feet. Sometimes I ignored his request because of my busy days at school but I did massage his feet. And I really recognized how my father had suffered from the pains because of his severe disease. I squeezed my mother gently and asked her what I had to do then. I also saw how she painstakingly cared for my father. My sister and I had to be independent. I didn't want to add to my parents’ burdens with my spoiled attitudes any longer. So, a few times I  did some homework just as my mom used to do. One year later, my father actually passed away. My family suffered for a long time and my family’s income decreased. My mother found it difficult to pay for my school fee and my sister’s school fee. Usually, my father used to teach when he wanted to arrange a school examination, and it was already gone. Therefore, at that trying period of time at my school, once my rank declined. It seemed there had been no hope anymore. However, I was encouraged by my family and close relatives. And my family eventually started to bounce back. 
    From then on, I have become independent. I have learned how to tell anyone else not to take food or clean up the bed. I have bounced back from previous adverse conditions. Then again, I got back the best rank at school. I have learned to love my family more than anything in this world. Since then, our family has become stronger than it was beforehand. It seems to me that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved. Thank you my father. You have left something that can never be exchanged by even a diamond or whatever it is. Love your family.
