I am 35 now. I took sometime this morning to read back my post from 10 years ago when I was 25. What has changed in 10 years? I realized 10 years passed by so quickly. It made me think that another 10 years will pass by just as quick. In a blink of an eye, I will be 45... if Allah allows my heart to still beat at that moment.
Then I thought about my parents. My dad loves to reminiscene on our childhood photos. Then I thought, on how in that photos, my parents were 35.. or even younger.
When we were kids, we always looked up to our elders like they know better. Like they should know everything, about how this world works. Whatever they did, must be correct, because they were supposed to know better.
But now that I am 35. I know, I don't know any better. I am still clueless about most things. The more you know, the more you don't know. And I realize the fact that my parents, my grandparents.. are all humans. Humans that are thriving on this earth, forever learning about the fact of life.
Everyone is pretending. To be strong. To live. To be a model for their children. Hoping to God they made the right decisions on things. Silently begging God for forgiveness of mistakes and things that were out of control.
If you are parents, then you should know what I am talking about.
I guess that's why people emphasize on 'mother's doa' .. because all mothers are human. And humans have limitations. We need God intervention at all time.
