Experience is The Best Teacher

I had an experience that was unforgettable along of life. Even it brought regret in my self. It happened when i was on first class of senior high school in 2003. My mother had a hard illness. A complication illness that caused she got stroke. Her body was half distinguished, couldn’t talk, and just lie down in a bed.

Times by times passed, our family was back and forth  to hospital. They looked for medicine but she did not get a health. Even, her body was more thinner becaue of less eating she was difficult to eat.

As a second son, i helped my father to carry and took care my mother. But, one day i stayed in the lowest point of my own mental. I complained, " I am tired". Unsuitable words to be said from a son to his parent. The words that i most wished to be pulled but i couldn't. I was ashamed. I wish that I had not made so many complaints in my life history, but it was excessive.

Next several month, when my mother had agony of death, we surrounded, guided a syahadat sentence for her and i also made an apology from my deepest heart. I hoped she understood and forgave me. Although she couldn’t speak to us. After that , my mother left us forever.

I made a mistake because i complained and said " I am tired" when caring my mom. But, it was born a faith and spirit in my self: “Don’t repeat the same mistake again” particularly for kind people arround us. The more important thing is: Experience is the best teacher. I wish God forgive my mistake. I love mom.
