The Story of Pencil & Eraser

Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt b'cos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. smile.gif

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.
 

"All my life, I've been the pencil.. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day.I will never forget their sacrifice in raising me.As a child,we need to repay their sacrifice by loving them and caring for them.We will never know when they will leave this world.So,do it before it's too late.For those who doesn't have parents anymore,be strong and always pray for them.May Allah bless their soul.Amin..I love U Mum.I Love U dad."
“We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.”
