Nice One, Adi

Now, I completely and fully understand why parents feel like they're in such ecstasy when their children graduate.

Yes, there is the "I'm so proud of you" moment.

There is the love, fulfillment and achievement.

But, this may sound so materialistic and so over-the-surface, but I think its also about the relief from pushing yourself to the edge in order to earn for money for their studies.

To be able to break free from the obligation may sound selfish but I really think, as someone who's working for my brothers to study, that is a valid feeling of joy during graduation.

And while I am very proud of what my younger brother has accomplished in school, I am also proud of myself.

And that thought also makes me teary-eyed.

I hope I don't sound such an selfish old brat who made things happen for his younger brother.

It's just that they were the reasons why I had to leave the country in the first place when I didn't want to. I just had to. 

I miss there company but I want them to get and enjoy what I got from my parents when I was younger - GOOD EDUCATION.

So I do apologize if I appear narcissistic but damn, I should give myself a pat on the back.

And a warm hug from my brother.
