I wrote this narrative to pay tribute to my parents, and at the same time, to all parents. It was inspired by the memories I had through the years when I lived with them in the United States. When my parents passed away, I missed them so much. Reminiscing about them brought back vivid memories of both happy and sad moments. At first, I thought those memories about my parents were just ordinary moments of recollecting and forgetting. But as I look back and reflect, those memories endured and served as my link to the past. They preserved the bygone years and gave life to moments that we spent together. In time, I came to cherish the treasure trove of memories about my parents, and particularly, those about the significant parts of our lives that we spent together that taught me lessons and helped mold my character.
