A friend told me something that is so relevant to me. And because of that, I feel like crying.

She told me that she saw this quote that said "You can't change someone without destroying the old him or her".

And funny... that was what I have been trying to get him to understand, but it seems like he can't get it at all.

On the other hand, I saw something beautiful today. I was on my way back home, taking the lift up to my floor. This lil boy, probably around 7 years old, was in the lift with his mum. It turned out that the mum was waiting for the dad. So she asked me if it is okay to wait for a while, and since I am not in a hurry, I told her it's not a problem.

So the dad came in, and the doors closed. The lil boy took out the book that he just bought from his bag, and was looking at it fascinatedly. And the mum and dad looked at him so lovingly while their son was so absorbed in his book, before looking up at each other with a smile that says so much about the love they have for their son.

It occured to me that, I kinda forgot that parents will always love their kids. It's just that I seem to encounter so many kids in where I work, that seem to have been neglected by their parents because the parents are so busy working, that I forgot that not all parents neglect their kids because of work. And even if they do, they only do it out of the love for their kids because they want the family to be financially stable.

Ah well... I feel like I'm turning into an old doddering lady who yaps on and on about things that are quite sappy.

But it really made my day, to see the family like that in the lift.
