Just You Is Enough

History

The sun is setting down and it was raining, the teardrops of the sky are falling at my car as I drive. Its funny how the sky and my emotion is on the same team right now, I am trying not to cry harder because I am driving so I stop for a while at the side in the middle of nowhere. Life is playing games with me and I am not happy with it. I look outside my window as I the watch kids playing in the rain, running with joy and making good memories in their life. The innocence in their eyes and the way they move carelessly while feeling the water falling from the sky, the way they write their names in the tree and putting a heart shape around it reminds me of my childhood days. A young girl with full of dreams that one day when she become a lady, she will found the prince of her life and they will live happily ever after. Of course she is just a girl who loves to read fairytales before she sleeps holding her doll in her arms. Her father will start reading her a story after a long day of working, without her knowing that her father is weighing a lot of his shoulder at the moment. She didn't know that her father already lost his job until her mother told them the next day. She and his brother could not believe and they cried. The father is strong that he shows his children that there is nothing to be afraid of; he said not to give up in life that when you fall, you should stand up straight and faces life without fear. She told herself that one day when she is old enough to be called a woman, she will be an understanding woman to face and conquer on what life may throws at her. She needs to be, she has to be.

She said that she will be brave enough and patiently wait for his knight and shining armor to come around just like what her mother told her. There is full of hope and love in her eyes as she watches her parents together. She told her parents that she can't wait to be a woman but instead of laughing at her, they watch her with a little bit of fear and awe. She will never forget when her mother put her at the kitchen table and gave her words that will be forever written in her mind and heart.

"One day, you will be a woman. A wonderful woman with a big heart." My mother smiled at me.

"Someone like you mom" I wanted to be like her.

"You will be better than me darling, better than mommy" She said and I smile at the thought. She is brushing my hair.

"How can I be a better woman?"

"It should start in your heart. In here" she points at my heart.

"Filled you heart with love and not hatred and aches. I f your heart is filled of love; it will glow and reflect outside. You will discover the world full of happiness, do you get what I am trying to point in here?" she asks and I just shrug.

"I guess not," she giggles and kissed my cheeks.

"If you live your life full of anger and sadness, do you think you'll be happy?" she asks and I said 'no' to her.

"That's right; you'll get mad at the world and won't appreciate all the beautiful things in life. Who wants that right honey?" my mother is right. She is always right.

"Yes mommy, except Mr. Smith, he is always mad at everyone! I should tell him that so he can be a better woman. Later, I'll go find him. James and I gave him a Christmas card last year but he didn't say thank you. He just nod and told us not to pick up the flowers on their lawn when we leave. I'll drop by him later and give him advice."

My mother and father laughed at me and I love seeing them happy.

"That is so sweet of you bunny, and he doesn't hate you, he is just that kind of person who do not show his emotions to everyone but he is a nice person. Always remember that even the 'not so nice' person has a good side beneath them, and not because Mr. Smith do not always smile means that he is not nice. Some people rather chose to be look strong outside but deep inside their heart it's already shattered into pieces by sadness."
