"Dad, we've made up our minds, we're going!"
"Yes, we know, you can't bear to see us suffer, but we must go!"
"It's only by leaving your protective umbrella that we can grow better and in the future protect you, Mom and Dad. You always protect us, but we have to protect you in return!"
"You're under a lot of pressure, and we know that. So, we need to become stronger, and that will relieve some of your burdens and also put our minds at ease!"
"We don't want to see you so tired. Dad, you said that only if we are strong can we protect those around us better, and that's exactly what we're thinking!"
The little ones took turns speaking, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.
They spoke all that was in their hearts.
Indeed, these were their true feelings all along.
The efforts and worries of their parents were something they had always seen.
They would grow up one day, so they might as well start practicing to carry their own burdens.
