After Ying-Shou had her eldest daughter, she’d not wanted a second child, because it is hard, raising a child up, needing a ton of energy and a lot of money too, but, she’d worried, that her daughter will feel lonely without a sibling, she’d decided, to give her a younger sibling.
After she’d had her son, Ying-Shou and her family would travel often, although, there’s a lot of packing to do, seeing how the older sister and her younger brother got along very well, she’d felt comforted.
And now, the son is in kindergarten, awhile ago, on Mother’s Day, the two kids made her a card, not only did they draw a cake, and had included a “coupon book”, with backrubs, wiping table, kisses, sweeping the floors, running errands, along with other tasks.
When Ying-Shou received the card, she was so moved she’d started crying, told her children that mommy loves you so! The kids replied, that she can trade in these coupons at any time, there’s NO expiration dates on them; Ying-Shou immediately got to use the massage service provided by her children, and, her husband was given the gifts too.
Because she’s a career woman, after work, when Ying-Shou returned home, she’s tired out; gladly, Ying-Shou’s husband would help with the chores, and trained the kids to help out too, it’d saved Ying-Shou a lot of troubles.
Ying-Shou told me, that she will use the heartwarming services provided by her children very slowly. To her, these coupons are more precious than all the treasures in the world, each one showed how much the kids cared for her, it’d given her a ton of surprise, and it’d also made us all, envious too.
And you can see, the thoughtfulness of these children, because they’d felt their mom’s love, and giving to them regularly, that, was why they’d wanted to give something back to her too.
