Life is all lessons…ignorance is not a destiny…
Since our birth, these people have taken care of us. Despite our stubbornness, ignorance and unruliness, they have been patient with us. Love was all they have for us no matter what we do.
How can we ever be without our parents?
But as soon as we have gained independence we slowly take for granted their love and sacrifices. As the child becomes the parent and the parent becomes the child, we become stiff with our display of affection. Instead of showing consideration for their mistakes, ignorance and shortcomings we are fast with our tempers. Unlike their display of understanding during the time of our innocence, we become judgmental and oblivious of their feelings.
Let us show affection for our parents. Without their love and nurturance we would not be where we are today. Let us extend our gratitude while they are still capable of appreciating. There is much regret in finding ourselves too late in expressing our love for our parents; time will wither their age and deteriorate their health, and soon we will find them reduced to a helpless child needing care, love and attention.
Never should we forget the ceaseless love our parents have clocked upon us, especially during the times when we need them the most. It’s the most genuine love one can ever have in life.

Finding it hard to even start with your goals?
Whether it’s breaking from poverty, getting your dream job, succeeding in business endeavors, losing weight, finding employment, getting a harmonious relationship, acquiring wealth and power, writing that bestselling book or any goals you want to materialize, there’s a force within you that will always inhibit you from achieving success. 99% of those who attempted with their goals fail, and the reason is their lack of knowledge about their very own participation in their failures. Our early conditioning programs us to fail but by identifying and overcoming them, success will favor your efforts. Let me help you in identifying them in my ebook below at a very low expense on your part.

How unfortunate it is that most of the time we forget the people who truly loves us. They don’t ask much, all they need is love and appreciation.
I’m glad that you appreciated this Evelyn.

Thank you Lani. Time indeed goes fast and we’ll never know until when we’ll have our parents; it’s important that we show them love as long as they can still appreciate.
Hi Walter,
Thanks for visiting my blog…
So true! we do need to show our parents that we love them before it is too late.
Happened to me as I lost my father early and had a hard time coming to terms with it as I felt so guilty….
God post.
Cheers
Bryan
Nice to see you here Bryan. I also lost my father early, though it hurts I have no regrets because I have showed him my love and appreciation, even until his last days.
Very nice post! Our parents gave us many things and we have to always hug them, give them our love, and take care of them. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Dia. We ought to our parents our care, security and well-being when we were young. Therefore we should always be grateful by giving them back the love they have given us.
Wonderful post! Hug is the best ever.. we all should spend more quality time with them!
Hey thanks Justin, glad you’ve liked it.
Sometime we do lose focus but I try my best to talk to my mom everyday about something and grandmother.

I say that it’s a good practice. Thanks for signing in.
I have been spending more time with my parents this year. I realized that while I espoused about the need to love others on my site, I really needed to start with my own family first. My parents might have different beliefs or ways of doing things; however, their intent had always been one of concern for my well-being. Thank you for the beautiful reminder on showing love, care and concern for our parents!!

Hey Walter,
Yes, I am struggling with this right now. My 84 yr old father is fighting for a few more days in his battle with cancer.
I hate to see him go like this and your post reminds me to consider his investment in me rather than focus on his exit.
Thanks pal.

Walter,
I am unable to see the video somehow on my laptop.
Since becoming a parent myself, I understand my parent much more and feel their love and little things they do now. I appreciate everything they have done and are doing for me. And yes, I have hugged them and told them I love them and I do. Nice message for others time I may forget.

hi walter. being a parent to two kids makes me wonder how my mom handled and raised 5 kids almost all by herself. now, i am too busy with my 2 kids that i tend to neglect my mom who is now 76 years old and battling with arthritis, high blood pressure, poor eyesight and hearing, and forgetfulness. thank you for making me realize the greatness of my mom’s love.
It’s easy to forget just how important are parents are. With out them we would never be here.
