My parents has only few more years to live (have to accept that fact) and I just had a thought..
why not spend time with them while they are still here?
Actually, I'm asking my self why not go back to province so I can be with them 24 hours? They are both old and living on their own- that makes me really feel guilty.
Why can't I take care of them?
What's keeping me? Does the ties I have here in the city is more important than my own parents?
And what are those ties?
-JOB - I can definitely find one in the province, the draw back would be the salary, and if I can't find one-i think i can always start a small business there and let me remind my self that living in the province is not as expensive living here in the city. I know I won't need much.
-CHURCH/MINISTRIES- There is a church just beside our home and we can always start a ministry there.
- FRIENDS- of course I'll be missing my friends here but we can always catch up through social networks and we can always visit right?
- LIFESTYLE- I don't think I'm gonna miss the city life, I was and will always be a rural girl :)
What do you think? Have you done anything like this? What did you consider most? What made you decide to move and have a total change of life?
If ever, I 'm giving my self 6 months to decide and I hope that will not be too late.
Go be with your parents. You are right they won't be around forever and you may just brighten their days and help them live longer. I don't have my parents anymore, but I was never far from them. Go and be with your parents. You'll never regret it.
