rafael, both daddy and mummy moved out from our families when we were around 24 or 25. will you do the same when you are of the same age? i understand that you will prefer to have your own home (either living alone or with your girlfriend) instead of staying with us when you grow up and are financially capable... i know that's good for you to learn how to be independent... but still, i know your mother will have mixed feelings about this when it really comes! : )
白居易 《燕詩》
梁上有雙燕，翩翩雄與雌
銜泥兩椽間，一巢生四兒
四兒日夜長，索食聲孜孜
青蟲不易捕，黃口無飽期
嘴爪雖欲弊，心力不知疲
須臾十來往，猶恐巢中飢
辛勤三十日，母瘦雛漸肥
喃喃教言語，一一刷毛衣
一旦羽翼成，引上庭樹枝
舉翅不回顧，隨風四散飛
雌雄空中鳴，聲盡呼不歸
卻入空巢裡，啁啾終夜悲
燕燕爾勿悲，爾當反自思
思爾為雛日，高飛背母時
當時父母念，今日爾應知
P.S. that old chinese poem came to my mind when i was writing this thread. but don't worry amy, i am sure rafael won't be like the swallow in the poem.. : )
