When I look back at the way I treat my parents, I really feel remorseful. I always fail to realise how much they love and dote on me, so much so that I keep bickering with them or keep trying to find fault with them. What makes a fillial daughter? How difficult is it to be one? All my parents want is my obedience. Is it that difficult for me to adhere to their instructions? Maybe I can try to defend myself by claiming that it is part of the phase I'm going through which is causing my rebellion but if there are quite a few living examples of obedient children around me, what more can I argue? I guess I'm really too direct and quick in my words and actions that I never consider the repercussions of my doing. My mother just told me today that I often neglect her feelings when I say something which seems justifiable to me but hurtful to her. I really failed to realise that fact, until today. I have always thought that being direct is good, but I failed to understand that certain words may be hurtful to the other party and that I should always consider the way my impending words may affect others. I really think I'm an ungrateful daughter, I really am. However, from today on, I shall change to be a better person. I really am blessed and there is nothing more I can ever hope for. Thank you Lord for giving me such wonderful parents and a caring sister. Thank you Dad for the skirt, I really love it. You bought it for me even though I made you angry today, that's what made the skirt even more valuable. I love you.
