Tired

It has been 3 months now. He is still working on finishing his thesis document to be submitted for his graduation. It has been a tough 4 years in college. But, with all the work he has put in. This is still an important step to reach to his goal. His parents are both working hard, to provide the maximum support for him to help realize his goals. There are still many steps for that ladder of success for him. While, it may seem like a normal thing, that any parent would do for their child. But, when one puts the financial aspect into perspective it becomes a challenge that questions one's will.

He is the middle son. His older brother has already started working and have his separate life from the family. His time is very limited to meet all of them. He occasionally visits. Although, he is mostly away, but, he is still a family person. His short visits were light and everyone enjoys connecting with him.

The next night, both parents were alone on dinner. They opened their orange lights, the room was partly dimmed. It was a quiet dinner, and they were sitting next to each other. It was like they were thinking of the same thing at the time. "About their youngest son". They don't know if he would grow up to be like his older brothers. That conversation needed no words. They both were having same questions and thoughts in mind. Probably, when someone knows the other very well, the exchange of stares and glances can say what words can't.

The father broke the silence as if he knew that there was a question there. He said, all of them are bond to have dreams. Realizing them is probably challenging and they might feel tired at times of walking their path. But, what other choice would one have, other than walking his path? It must be between exhaustion of walking or, being in the same state from standing still.
