Selfless

 My late father always said , " Ambillah, abah dah biasa makan " while we're having our meals. He would say that when there's extra food or when the food was not enough. He would let his children eat it. He's a selfless father. He never thought of himself . Always the children first. 

Now, we are the parents. And we do the same thing to our children. We always think of them first. Do they eat enough food, do they like the dress that we bought, bla bla bla and bla.  We just want our children to be happy. And when we realise that there's not enough food on the table, we will tell our children that we have already eaten  or  simply say " mak dah biasa makan, ambillah ".  Yup! Just like our parents did  to us before.
