I spent my whole time to focus on working and rarely visited them. One day, I went to visit and have dinner with them. In next to no time, I realized that they are visibly aging which made me feel down and regretful because I did not spend enough time to be with them. That is also the reason why I wrote the song “Gói Xôi Vội”, especially, the sentence, “Vội vàng mái tóc đen xưa bỗng nhiên giờ như muối tiêu”(hastily, a shiny black hair of head has now turned into a salt and pepper one)”.
