I Am Homesick

I think I am not a good son. I have not called back home first for several months. Only my father phoned me first. The phone call I made first was on the middle-autumn Day. Usually the conversation in the phone call lasts only 2 to 3 minutes. The content is always trivial, such as the weather in Beijing and the question whether I had dinner.

I become homesick every time when I am frustrated. Now I am homesick again, so I guess I am in depression. At home, I can totally relax, sleeping over 8 hours a day and watching TV programs all day long. This is a repeated situation in every Chinese New Year festival. But as time goes by year after year, I begun to feel guilty to enjoy my laid-back life at home, because I begun to notice the white hairs occupying my father's and mother's hair! They no longer appear to be strong and tall for me. Now I can look at them at a higher angle, but I have never watched them carefully. And usually I am not patient of their caring questions. This is the attitude I have developed since my childhood.

I got to change my bad attitude and spend more time with my family next month when I go home. There is nothing more important than their happiness and healthiness.
