In the morning during the dawn of the Adhan. Mom woke me up from my sleep tonight.
"Son, let's wake up at dawn!" Mother said as she stroked my head slowly.
"Emmm yes mother."
I just turned around and fell asleep again.
"Honey, let's get up, boy!" Mom pulled my hand and helped me to sit down.
"Yes mom, I'm up." I rubbed my eyes with both hands.
I got out of bed. Mom also went back to the kitchen. Since the dawn adhan had reverberated, I immediately went to the bathroom to clean the body and took whudlu water. Then I performed the dawn prayer before starting today's activities.
After the greetings from my prayer my mother approached me who was still in the room.
"What's the matter, mom?" Ask me to start the conversation.
Mother took a deep breath and exhaled before speaking to me. She held my hands and tried to smile in front of me. Though I know mom is holding back her tears from falling.
"You helped mommy bathe dad. I can't stand anymore, especially to walk to the bathroom. You can just lie down." Mom says dad's situation while crying.
I shed tears too.
"Yes mom, but I'm okay, ma'am?" My toot.
"Father's condition is already weak, his legs can no longer support his own body. So now you can just lie down, and you can't be left behind."
Hearing my mother's words I immediately hugged my mother to strengthen my mother. If I hadn't strengthened who else.
"Yes, I've taken water to bathe my father first, you wait in my room."
"Yes mother." I tidied up the face I was wearing and headed to Dad's room.
....
"Dad, how's dad doing?" I asked while holding my father's hand.
"Dad's okay son, dad's healthy." I'm still trying to hide his condition. My father endured the pain.
"Son, here's the cloth you helped compress me." Mother said while giving a towel cloth to clean the father's body.
I rubbed and cleaned my body with the help of my mother flipping my body to the right or left side.
"Dad if it hurts to say yes, if I rub your body too hard." I said.
"No son, it's okay." Answer father.
"Just take it easy to be clean and dad's body feels fresh." Answer mother.
"Yes ma'am."
I continued rubbing my father's body slowly. After finishing the mother brought the cloth and water used to compress the father outside. While I helped dad put on his shirt and scabbard.
"Daddy's pants."
"Yes, thank you." Dad smiled very happily.
"You're not in school?" Continue father.
"Yes school,"
"Yes, you're getting ready soon to be late."
"Yes dad, I live first huh. Dad's a healthy spit." I answered and left Dad lying in the room.
"My mother is leaving, yes" I said as I put on my shoes.
"Breakfast first." Answer the mother from the kitchen.
"No, I've had a bad time." Continue me.
"This is the provision, sorry yes dear only rice as soy sauce mother has not cooked. You'll buy pentol or something for breakfast at school." My mother said, giving me a rice box.
"Yes mother, I say yes, Assalamualaikum."
I say goodbye to my mother in the kitchen and don't forget to kiss her hand. Not finished there, I went to my father's room and said goodbye to my father.
After I kissed my father's hand, I was about to get out of the room.
"Son!" Call dad.
I turned around and went back to my father, "Yes dad."
"Later when the school is finished quickly go home, don't play games first." Said father.
"Yes dad."
"Here son." Dad grabbed me and kissed me on my forehead.
Unlike usual, since dad is sick, let alone kiss to hug you never want, surely dad refused even though I forced. This time, my father hugged me and kissed me. A sense of happiness that I could not hide made me smile wide and vigorously this morning.
"I'm leaving father, Assalamualaikum."
"Mosur."
When I get out of the house even on my way to school I feel very happy and can't take this smile off. A very difficult moment for me to get as long as my father is sick is now manifesting itself.
"Wait, tumben dad wants to hug and kiss me, not like. What's up, huh?" I spoke alone while thinking because I felt something was strange.
"Ahh I may miss you when you hug me or when you kiss me."
I brushed off all my bad picurans, maybe this was one of my father's ways to cheer me up this morning. Or maybe it was because I was tired from the morning helping mom so dad gave me that gift.
"Huffft, patience is important you have to school spirit, remember the father said later when it is finished, immediately go home from school do not play first." I give passion to myself.
A simple sense of happiness can be obtained from the family and in a simple way. I don't think I'll be able to forget what happened today.
"Thank you dad." I said shouting while on the street there were no people and far from the settlements.
The family is one of the most essential links in the history of the human child's life journey. As well as being the beginning of education was introduced.
The family is actually the smallest organization as a protector and decorator of life painting that provides comfort and shade of the heart for all its members. Of course this beautiful family life painting cannot be separated from the basic spectrum, namely sakinah, mawadah, and warahmah, and other basic aspects of life.
The family as the smallest organization, becomes the beginning of the formation of the character of a child. Everything starts here. It starts when he learns to talk, get to know the things around him, stand up, walk, and run. Child education cannot be separated from the role of all family members.
This is closely related to the function of the Family as an Educational Function, where the family is the first environment for children. Education is the responsibility of parents, namely the father and mother who are central figures in education. The educational function requires each parent to condition family life into an educational situation.
As Baitii Jannatii said, My home is my garden of sorgha. About the ideal family building, because the family is the first and main source for the life of the individual and society as a whole.
The family as the first and main source makes a huge contribution to the development and mental and physical growth of children in their lives.
In addition, the family for children is a place that is most strategic in filling and equipping the values of life needed by children who are looking for the meaning of life.
The success of children's education in the family when the child is in an early age, which will greatly affect the success of education in the next period. Education is not just about education in science, knowledge and technology. But the most important thing is to equip them with religious, moral, and ethical education to build good morals, then other formal education will automatically follow.
Such is the definition of family as early education for children or as a paradise in the family.
