Was waiting for a bus to go to a publishing house near my home area. A bus came by and some passengers alighted and two persons caught my eye.

An old lady, possibly in her 80s, slowly climb down the steps. She is followed by another lady, possibly her daughter, who look like she is in her 50-60s. The younger one was carrying a big bag and an umbrella. She slowly lead her mom away from the bus-stop to somewhere else. Both of them walk slowly. Both of them look frail and old.

Secretly, my heart took a picture. I wondered to myself... So this is how I would look like 30 years down the road....

Was telling colleague that I really do not want to scold my parents. Or tell them off. But sometimes, they simply like to do things their own way, or see things their way. Without caring consequences, without caring about the effect it has on others. But they have reached an age where they are become ... Troublesome. And it really is a test of my patience. I blew my top more frequently nowadays.

This is a season of learning. Now I am living the "Caring for Your Parents" phase.
