Thinking about the future

Yesterday, my parents and I went shopping. While at the mall, I’ve noticed a lot of families strolling and having fun too, I saw this little kid holding his mom and dad’s hands as if scared that he might get lost or get left behind. I saw myself in that kid, because when I was young, all I wanted was to spend each day with my mom and dad, and for us to be complete. But my dad had to work out of the country, and it was only my mom who was left to take care of me. I told myself that when I grow up, I will work hard to have plenty of money, enough to make my dad stop working and still enjoy a good life. I also want to make sure that the three of us won’t have to worry about what will happen tomorrow or the years to come. When I started earning my own money, the very first thing I did was get us a health insurance. My aunt also suggested that we should check out the other plans they offer while the life insurance rate is still affordable. And so I did, and my parents think it’s a great idea too. I know that we don’t really know what will be tomorrow, but I think it’s better to do something about it, than just let things be and suffer the consequences later. If you were given the chance to somehow change the way things will be in the future even in your own little way, won’t you? I guess that’s just my own way of saying I will, and I care about myself and the ones I love.
