Which is the author’s question?

I’d like to ask you a question, "Would you miss your parents if you were away from them for a whole day and night?"
    Some may say, "My parents scold me all the time. They always keep me busy with the things they think I should learn. And I never have time to play or watch TV programs during weekdays. So I wouldn’t miss them."
    Some time ago, I would have said the same thing. To tell you the truth, I was a naughty girl when I was little. So my parents often scolded me. I even hated them sometimes. But after I entered middle school, I could only go back home once a week because my home was too far away from my school. It was then that I began to realize how much they loved me.
    Now I understand that our parents scold us only because they love us. Please cherish the love of your parents.
