养儿防老

近日，外婆因为肾积水和囊肿住院。于是舅舅赶去昆明，和姨妈一起照顾外婆。我妈呢，则打算在春节过后去照顾外婆。昨天，爷爷因为咳不出痰来，进了急诊室，随后又转到了重症监护室。姑妈她们可能会在春节左右来成都照顾爷爷。

Luckily, my parents generation has at least two siblings. So when the grand parents are sick, at least there is someone to take care of them. For my generation, most of us are the only child. If in case my parent get sick, I may not be able to be next to them on time.

如今养着两个儿子，却从来没有想过老了要他们来照顾我。毕竟这里是美国，老人是政府的责任。可是，却常常会想我在中国的父母亲。他们养了我，老了，我却不能照顾他们。
