Touched by e Pastor's hospitality, sincerity and generosity..
He got all 3 kids to bunk together. rooming all 5 in one compact room so that us visitors wld be able to sleep comfortably in the kids rooms.
I observed how the 2 deaf parents could bring up their children so well, respectable, closely knit, they would make jokes, sit with us to have casual conversation, call each other names and yet laugh it away.. and they said conflicts dont last longer more than an hour.
Was envious the word? I was touched by the closeness of the 3 siblings, wondering why the brother I have wld never care for me the same way or talk to me with that brotherly affection, offer me advise or have friendly conversation with me.. all i got was bumps and bruises and a scarred impression of brothers.
and then I asked them - your parents must have little conflicts too.. they replied that there were conflicts that usu dont last longer than a day and everyone's rather light hearted about these things.
I obsrved how dad was the disciplinarian who only had to give a look to get things done and mum was the doting one who made sure food was served, supper delights were prepared, all 3 children recieved equal attention and her husband was tended to as well with gentleness and love.
How complete... Guess it's not too late to decide that there was much to learn about parenting from Csar n Aleen.. It all starts from the model that parents display to their children.
I could either mop around sulking on the conflicts with mum, dad and bro every day or every other day or open my eyes to see what should or shldnt be done.
My idea of the almost perfect family.
