Are you aware of the words you say to your parents? does your attitude please your parents? Do you take time to think of them in a compasionate way? These are just the common questions that only few of us ask ouselves.I was a daughter before I became a mother and still a daughter .When do you think a parents stop becoming a parent?, is it when you reach legal age?, is it when you separate yourself from them ?, or when your married and have your own family? To me being a parent never ends and how about being a daughter ? a son? when does it end. So many of us think we are better than our parents because we are more knowlegable when it comes to education, some parents may not have gone to college or graduate from a degree or they may not be as successful as what you have now, Is this enough to claim that we are above our parents? Parents are not perfect nor sons and daughters . Words! Words! are very important , how you deliver it to them , the tone of voice, the choices of everywords you use to make them understand and to withold our frankness in everygiven situation , the unending sacrifice you can offer and to be compasionate in every way.
During my time as a daughter I was not perfect too , many mistakes done , too many pains, worries, sudden problem because of sickness , the times when your parents cried behind close door because they want to give you more but can only give you less because its all what they have and have given it all to their children. I tell you as a daughter before and a mother now, always use your heart when you talk to your parents because it's the only way , the best way to talk to your parents especially when they are now in their golden years, they would want to hear kind words and they will always treasure respect than the riches you can give. Never deny help to your parents or to anyone even if they didnt ask for it, as children you will know the time when they needed it most
When a son or a daughter give something to their parents in time when everything is fine it is gratitude and a gift and to show their parents they are remembered even when they can live without it but when you give to a parent in time of their desperation and in time when they needed it most . to them its more than a sacrifice in your part , for them its love that made you do this and its your kind heart and your compassion for their situation. Remember its easy for children to ask from their parents but its hard and its pitiful for a parent to ask. So why wait, why not feel what they need ....... be happy to give. be happy to anticipate. because time is short and not enough to show your parents your goodness and what you become now is their success and achievement too . when you hear of problems, situations listen , just listen this alone will console them and as much as possible use few words and always focus on them not with what you have and , not with what you dont have. Have you forogtten that maybe God is testing your kindness and your love and he starting with your family? In my part I have so much to say , so much to do and I pray with God's mercy that before he will take my parents breath I would be able to show them my unconditional love and I will be able to at least do something to give without them asking me.
