When parents are here, it\’s like a bird with a nest; when parents are gone, it\’s like a kite with its strings broken.

Parents are the most caring people in the world. They love us more than they love themselves. Whether we are children who cannot support ourselves or adults who can stand alone, they always care about us and love us. The family bond formed by decades of parental kindness has gradually turned into a golden chain that can never be cut. Parents have also become the most important people in our lives who cannot be let go. When our parents are here, we are like birds with a nest. No matter how far we fly, we will never be lonely or sad, because we have someone to rely on in our hearts. But when our parents pass away, we will become kites with broken strings, full of wandering and helpless. Children are birds, parents are bird\’s nests. When the nest is broken, it is too late for the bird to return. \”Shishuo Xinyu\” writes: \”Birth, old age, illness and death are all done at the right time.\” If you taste it carefully, you will see how much helplessness and bitterness these eight words contain. No one can control birth, aging, illness and death, and children will eventually have to face separation from their parents one day. When our mother gave birth to us, she cut the umbilical cord of our flesh and blood, and this separation was the joy of the birth of life; but when our mother passed away, she cut our emotional umbilical cord, and this separation was the heart-breaking pain! Although, we all We know that birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable processes in everyone\’s life. Although we all know that separation and death from our loved ones is something that everyone does not want to face but cannot escape. However, who can do it when we really face the eternal separation from our parents? Open-minded and indifferent? Ji Xianlin, a master of traditional Chinese culture, left home to study when he was young and wandered around the world, spending less time with his parents and more away from him. Later, his mother died suddenly. He hurried back to his hometown from Beijing, but only saw a dark coffin and never saw his mother\’s face again. The neighbor told him the two sentences that his mother kept chanting before her death. The first sentence was: \”If I had known that he would never come back after being sent away, I would never have let him go!\” The second sentence was: \”Son! You let your mother go.\” It’s so painful to think about it! You’ve been away from home for eight years and you haven’t come back to see me. You know how my mother feels!” After hearing this, Ji Xianlin was devastated and extremely guilty. Later, he wrote in his essay \”Eternal Regret\”: \”When I saw my mother\’s coffin and the simple house, I really wanted to hit my head on the coffin and die with my mother in the ground. I regret it, I really regret it. , I should never have left my mother. No matter what reputation, status, happiness, or honor in the world, nothing can compare to staying by my mother\’s side.\” This is true: the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to No need to wait for someone to support you! There are many regrets in life that can be made up for, but if a person dies, what is the use of having thousands of confessions and all kinds of guilt? More than 2,000 years ago, the educator Confucius warned us: \”If you don\’t travel far away when your parents are around, you must travel well.\” Because every day when their children travel far away, their parents will be worried. Traveling far away for a long time without returning will make parents look forward to it. For elderly parents, it is the best filial piety if their children do not travel far away and are always with them! Children are kites and parents are spools. Don\’t wait for the line to break, leaving regrets in vain. The writer Lao She said: \”Even if a person lives to eighty or ninety years old, he can still be a little childish if he has a mother. Without a loving mother, he is like a flower in a bottle. Although it still has color and fragrance, it has lost its roots.\” No matter whether a person is The young child is still nearly fifty years old, and his fatherIt is your blessing that your mother is alive and healthy. When our parents are young and strong, they can give us care and attention. When our parents are old and frail, they can still give us spiritual comfort. When we are wronged outside and have nowhere to turn, it is the listening and comforting of our parents that relieves the pressure on our hearts; when we encounter blows in love or work, it is the shoulders of our father and the embrace of our mother that help us face misfortune. courage. Parents are our talisman when we are young and our reassurance when we are old. Parents are of great significance to their children, so children should cherish the time when their parents are alive and don\’t leave heart-wrenching regrets when their parents leave you forever. Some people say that one act of filial piety during one\’s lifetime is worse than a hundred visits to graves after one\’s death; burning tens of thousands of piles of paper money during the Qingming Festival is not as good as serving a bowl of rice in this world. This statement explains to the point: performing filial piety in time is the best form of filial piety, and making up for it afterwards is meaningless. Because things in the world are unpredictable and time is not forgiving, parents will gradually grow old and then leave while waiting for filial piety. In ancient times, there was a man named Han Boyu. From childhood to adulthood, his mother would beat him every time he made a mistake, but he never cried. Then one day, he made a mistake again and his mother beat him, causing him to cry. His mother was surprised and asked him why. He said: \”In the past, when you hit me, it hurt, but I could feel that you did it to educate me, so I didn\’t cry. But today, you hit me with much less force. You can no longer feel the pain, which means you are old, and the time I can honor you is getting shorter and shorter. When I think of this, I can\’t help crying!\” Yes, the years are like knives, and the knives hurt people. old. We can\’t control our parents as they age, but we can make the rest of their lives happier as they age. Because life cannot be repeated, the regret of not being able to fulfill one\’s filial piety in time is irreparable. Never believe in the saying that the future is long. Remember that time and time do not wait for us to fulfill our filial piety. When our parents are around, no matter how old we are, we still have the happiness of being children, and we can often feel the love and pampering of our parents. And once you lose your parents, you are like a kite with broken strings, helpless and helpless. The reason why the famous Taiwanese singer Fei Yuqing quit the entertainment industry that has been active for decades is because of the death of his parents. He said: \”When my parents passed away, I suddenly lost my belonging in life. Without their attention and sharing, the gorgeous stage made me feel even more lonely.\” It can be seen that the presence of parents seems to give children reassurance, and the boat of life also has direction. Even if our parents are gray-haired and old, as long as we think of them, our souls will have a place to rest; as long as we see them, our hearts will feel warmer. Therefore, as a child, you should give your parents more patience and care when they are old or seriously ill, treat them kindly, and take good care of them. Let them have more warmth and happiness in the last period of their lives, and also prevent themselves from crying out of guilt when they are separated from their parents. Writer Bi Shumin said: \”When parents are here, there is still a place to come in life; when parents go, there is only a way back in this life.\” I want to say: When parents are here, it is like a bird with a nest; when parents are gone, it is like a kite with its string broken. Cherish the time when you have a nest, don\’t be a bird that flies far away, and return to the nest often. Don\’t wait until your parents die, you will be cut off from your soul and left alone and helpless.Spare time for sadness and regret.
