"I'm sorry" said the Pencil to the Eraser

Pencil:
I'm sorry

Eraser:
For what?
You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil:
I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me.
Whenever I made a mistake,
you're always there to erase it.
But as you make my mistakes vanish,
you lose a part of yourself.
You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser:
That's true.
But I don't really mind.
You see, I was made to do this.
I was made to help you
whenever you do something wrong.
Even though one day, I know
I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one,
I'm actually happy with my job.
So please, stop worrying.
I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between
the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
Parents are like the eraser
whereas their children are the pencil.
They're always there for their children,
cleaning up their mistakes.
Sometimes along the way...
they get hurt, and become smaller
(older, and eventually pass on).
Though their children will eventually
find someone new (spouse),
but parents are still happy
with what they do for their children,
and will always hate seeing
their precious ones worrying, or sad.

"All my life, I've been the pencil..
And it pains me to see the eraser
that is my parents getting
smaller and smaller each day.
For I know that one day,
all that I'm left with would be
eraser shavings and memories
of what I used to have..."
