This was
another book I bought at the library when I was looking for Mitch
Albom's "The first phone call from heaven". Reading it was unplanned,
but because I loved the FPCFH I had to give him another shot, it's just
the way he sets his plot and characters that impresses me.
It didn't take long for me to actually get attached to this book and never putting it down, I just couldn't and this is not one of the situations that always go like " The book was amazing I couldn't stop reading" No, this is different and I felt it. Through every page, and every sentence of this book, it emotionally touched me. I could feel the regret, the pain and the embarrassment as I read the sentences and I could very much relate to them, not because I was human, but because I was a child myself. This book made me aware of a lot of the things our parents do and we as children think of them as being what...a waste of time? or we just always end up being selfish right? I mean look at all the things Chick's mom has gone through, and despite the pain and humiliation she received from the world, she never gave up...she was a " Mother ". She suffered so much but still was able to keep her problems to herself because his children were young and she didn't want them to affected by her divorce. Not until chick was a father himself, and not until his daughter was old enough to get married that Chick was told the truth of why his mother did not want his father back at home. As a child her hated her for that, but as the man he'd grown to be , when he was on the verge of dying did he know why his mother did that.
This highlights the trait we children never fail to get rid of, we fail to acknowledge the fact that our parents are always aware of things we are not, they know it all, but they're just waiting for the right time for us to know as well...this is why they teach us to be patient..this is why they raise us to be patient...but the question is...who's willing to be that patient?
