Hobby Case

My parents have been retired for many years, they both have famous hobby. My mother care about current affairs, and she likes sports. She won the race walking in school senior's games, she also played tennis at the age of 70, but now she plays billiards and table tennis. Furthermore, the Internet is also the pleasure of my mother, to send and receive E-mail, sending pictures, using web-cam etc., she knows everything. Tai Chi is dad's strengths and calligraphy. Over the years, his calligraphy speech in his life already has more than thousand words. My parents live very happy, but they are old now, and I am not around them, I always miss them very much. I often think of a song lyric "having children could prevent the hard life when you get old, but after they grow up they move away, having children could prevent the hard life when you get old, you never say a word when you having a hard time in your life." For me, it is really a big drawback and helpless not to stay around them. For them, they never willing to let me worry about them, the lyrics is the family affection. I can't forget a winter from 30 years ago; I was a ticket seller, go to work at 5 am. For my safety, my father braved the cold and ride a bicycle take me to the bus station. I can't forget 20 years ago, I went abroad to study, and my mother took care of my four-year-old daughter for 5 years to let me finish my education. For decades, my parents paid a lot for me, makes me think it deeply, the most difficult payback is the parents' kindness. On New Year's Day or my parent's birthday, I will give them my love, but they rarely use my money to add something for their life needs. Ever since I bought a 52 inch TV, images of the clear, bright color brings me a wonderful visual enjoyment. I started thinking to give my parent the same TV before the New Year. After I told them about that, they both said "we have 2 TV in the house already, we don't need it anymore." My father doesn't like me to spend money, he asked my little sister for help, don't let me buy it. After several twists and turns, my parents accepted, and then empty a space for the TV. My husband and I chose a new design TV for them, my sister and my brother-in-law will buy it for them, and then make sure it would be arrived before the New Year. Mom said just like at home and watches movies to enjoy. My New Year present for my parents made them very happy, and I am happy too.
