Nothing is as touching as parents’ love

6 o’clock in the morning, in front of security check at Wuhan International airport. A girl was standing in a long queue wait for security check. Her parents were standing behind her. She looks like very tired and her head down. Her left hand held her passport and ticket. A big heavy backpack was carrying on her shoulder in order that she can’t keep her back straight. Her father hauled her boarding bag, staring at her face, and his eyes were full of worry. Her mother was holding her right arm and helping her to fix her loose hair.

After finished fix her hair, her mother touched her forehead, and said: “You must take good care of yourself after arrival there. Living alone, you must be careful. Weather is always change, don’t get sick. And eat on time. Anyway, take care.”

The girl raised her head, tears in her eyes.

“Don’t cry! Don’t go if you want to cry! If you cry alone overseas, we can’t help you,” her father said with a stern look.

“Don’t say that!” her mother raised voice to her father and said, “I believe my daughter is the best. She can take good care of herself and don’t let us worry about her.”

The father kept silence. The mother still held the girl’s arm.

Unconsciously, it’s the girl’s turn to go through the security. Her father gave the boarding baggage to her, and said, “If it too heavy that you can’t put it on the baggage rack, ask a man to help you. And also your check-in luggages, after you arrival there, you ask somebody’s help. Two 50lbs, I don’t believe you can.”

“Dad, don’t look down on me! You just too worry about me! Please don’t!” the girl said with a curl of her lip. Then, she gave her parents a hug and kissed them. Tears in the mother’s eyes, and she turn around.

“Next,” the security check inspector said.

The girl gave her passport and ticket to the inspector. After passed, she look back at her parents, and waved good-byes to her parents.

The girl choked back tears said, “Mom, don’t cry, I will miss you. And dad, take good care of yourself and mom, miss you too. Love you.”

Then, the girl turned around, into the security, and she never look back again. But she wiped away tears frequently.

  2. I also like your headline! A couple of suggestions I have are to pay close attention to comma placement and when you need to use connecting words, and also to make sure sure you use complete sentences. This was a really great story and I enjoyed reading it!
