Back Then.....

Today when my dad was driving I looked at him for one second and it brought me back some memories almost 10 years ago. My dad looked old in that one second. He looked tired. These recent years his health isn't that good. He gets sick more often and tired easily. Back then it was the reverse. I was always the one getting sick. And at night time they would come to my bedroom and feel my forehead to see if my fever is gone. I remember back then when I would always ride on his back and he would always sing. I remember back then when I still fit on the superstore carts. But now thinking back to it, more than 10 years have past. I'm 16 now and hes almost 40. Things are so different now. I have a 5 year old brother, and a flat screen t.v. I know one day I have to take care of my daddy and mommy. I really love them. They are getting old and I haven't really done anything for them. The least I could do is accomplish their dream and that is for me to graduate from university. Maybe I don't want to leave Winnipeg after I grad. Even though the sad memories bring me a lot of pain but my parents are more important than pain. Because without them theres really no point of working hard in school because I have no one to share my accomplishments with.
