On the coming of age of children, why it’s, absolutely, IMPORTANT, that you parents, don’t miss out, and yet, you all, missed out, hadn’t you, STUPID parents???  Translated…

In the depth of the nights, watch my child as he’s, sound asleep, I’d shockingly discovered, just how time had, passed by, this was, my son’s final year of elementary school.  Based off of the traditions at the school, the sixth graders had a special assignment, to make a book, of their coming-of-age process, in it, there would be at least over twenty photos of the children since they were born.  I’m sure, that all parents, when they were told of this assignment had, all taken out their children’s baby pictures to look at, sorting through them one by one, finding that cutest, that most fitting picture, and develop it out for the children.  This is, a heartwarming, and wonderful assignment, I’d, selected the late hours of the nights to do this, to pass the time, and to help me recall the days of my child’s growing up.

At this time, the LINE alert on my cell sounded off, I’d opened up the message, it was the parents group from my son’s class, one of the parents stated that they’d not kept any photos of their young, that they couldn’t, finish the assignments.  Suddenly, I’d felt my heart aching, in this time of hi-tech, there’s a child, with absolutely, NO record of her/his coming of age process, what’s going on here?

Later on, we’d learned that the child’s parents were divorced when he was just an infant, the child stayed with his father, but, he’d had to work, and gave him to his grandmother to care, and the grandmother passed away when the boy was in the second grade, so this child grew up all alone, without love, and, his behaviors showed just that too.  He’d not just lacked the record of the photos of his aging process, his father didn’t want to use his off days to make up for the lacking, and I’d, felt even more sympathetic toward this boy, perhaps, he was, merely, masking up his own loneliness growing up, with his acting up and out.

I’d recalled how my own child had been raised in love, that at every stage in his life, there were, a ton of care and concerns show to him, and yet, this other boy, because he was born into his family, had a very opposite fate from my son’s, I would definitely, need to, take a lot more photos of him that will, be memorable.

And so, because this other kid’s parents were divorced, and, left to raise up by his grandmother, that explained for why he’d, acted up, because he didn’t have the love of EITHER of his parents shown to him growing up, this just showed, how important it is, to accompany your own children as they grow up, otherwise, they will, surely HATE you for it!!!
