The Old Man and The Son

Hi, Maders! Have you ever met an inspiring figure? Since I was a kid, I know about a real story of a man who always looks for his son in the evening because his son always wanders alone from home. Their home is near my ex-house assistant and she has told me a lot about them.

Anyway, I choose 'the old man and the son' as the title because it sounds like Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea. Hehehe

Now I have grown up and my way of thinking becomes more critical. I’m a language student, so I love stories. This time I’d like to share their amazing tale to you. To keep their privacy, I won’t say their names and show their faces, just a picture originally taken by me.

On Saturday (almost) evening, I accidentally saw the old man and the son on the sideways while I was driving a car. Then I pulled over in front of them. It was the first time I talked to the old man although I have watched them since a long time ago. They’re famous actually because everyone around knows that the son always wanders and the old man will look for him when it’s time to go home. He has much love for his ‘special’ son.

I said I was a journalist from my university and I needed their picture because I wanted to write a story about them. Without any hesitation, the old man agreed and asked his son to stand still. Within a minute, I took their picture with my ipad. After that, I thanked them and left.

As long as I remember, in the morning the son always wanders a bit far from his house since I was still in kindergarten. Sometimes people will give him money or food when he passes by. Next, the old man will try to look for him from 3 P.M. and they will come home together at 5 P.M. This happens everyday. Not feeling tired or confused, the old man always successfully meets his son. Incredible, isn’t it?

From this discussion, I’m gonna say that the love from parents never ends. Even if you’re super duper naughty, yeah probably the parents will be mad at you, but you should know that they love you. Hmm in the movie sometimes the parents throw away their children because they get no love, trust me, they will regret on the other day! To be honest my dad is firm, but he always gives me money so I can complete my Harry Potter series. Haha. Thanks Dad! And thanks Mom for paying my expensive piano course! I’ll do my best! Love you! Bye, Maders!
