Dragon Boat Festival, a forever farewell, memories of my parents,


What I want to say:
It should be a day of universal celebration, a lively day to honor the ancestors, but this year's Dragon Boat Festival, for me, has become an unforgettable experience.
On this Dragon Boat Festival, I lost my dearest dad and mom one after another. They passed away peacefully from cancer, without struggle, without much pain, just quietly closing their eyes and leaving us siblings. From then on, only I, my sister, and two younger sisters are left at home, relying on each other, facing this suddenly incomplete family.
Thinking back over the past year, I almost stayed every night in the hospital ward. Starting from caring for my mother, then later my father also fell ill. During the day, I had to do my best to manage the family business, to keep life going; in the early morning, my sister and younger sisters took turns caring carefully; at night, I took over, staying until dawn. The ticking of the machines, the dim yellow lights in the corridor, the smell of disinfectant, became my daily companions. No matter how tired my body was or how blurry my eyes, I dared not relax even a little. Because I knew, those were their last moments in this world.
I often ask myself late at night:
Why did people come into this world? And why do they leave?
Is it to taste the love and being loved, to complete a bloodline connection, then quietly leave with fulfillment or regret?
Now, the aroma of zongzi still drifts in the air, but my parents are no longer here. But I just want to say one thing: thank you, Mom and Dad.
Thank you for taking such good care of us four children, for giving us selfless love and teachings, so that we can now face life's storms independently, no longer children needing your constant concern. On this Dragon Boat Festival, although you have already gone far away, I know, this gratitude, you must hear it from above. Parental love is like the sea, a child's spring sunshine, impossible to repay in a lifetime.
I also want to say to all friends:
Spend more time with your family.
Once time passes, it can never come back. "The tree desires tranquility, but the wind does not stop; children want to care for their parents, but parents are not here." Don’t wait until you lose them to regret. Cherish every Dragon Boat Festival, cherish every reunion, cherish the loved ones still around you.
This Dragon Boat Festival, although two most important people are missing from our family, we will live strongly, just as you hope. May Dad and Mom in heaven rest in peace. May next year's Dragon Boat Festival find us carrying your love and moving forward.
The aroma of zongzi carries longing, the dragon boat bears blessings.
Mom and Dad, thank you! We love you.
From now on, I will also use AI to gain more time, because time is more precious than anything!
