Our Parents' Love

Both of my parents are working, since kid, My sisters and I were accustomed to do everything independently.
My mom taught us to be brave; because we are woman, we need to be brave and not crying upon the fights against boys.
My dad was more humble, he is not a type of guy who performs power over intellectual. He is quite intellect.
Both of my parents are busy, so that they do not have too much time for me.
Living alone far from parents, I practically do everything by my own.
I do feel, I am really free now. I can do whatever I want and my parents could not give a shit about it.
But this freedom comes at cost. Unlike other kids, my parents do not contact me as often as other parents do. Our family is not romantic. We are definitely so effective and functional in family.
I wonder if my parents love me as much as other parents do to their kids...

Then I came to a memory. When I was in elementary school, my parents were not as loaded as they are now. But they want to provide us with optimal care. We went out from school at 1 pm while they went out from work at least at 4 pm. Instead of making us wait for more than 3 hours, they set up a pick up service business.
They hired a driver and use our so ordinary minivan to pick us home with other classmates which home are nearby.
By that business, I could go home in time and also making friends with other classmates.


I know that every parent is different and there is nobody perfect.
But I know that my parents making effort to love me in their own way.

If there is one verb I could say to describe my parents, it will be: PROVIDE

their love provides me an environment so I could reach everything I reached by now.
Some love are consuming, romantic, funny, etc. But my parents love is effective and functional.
