The beauty of parenthood

I am a proud family lover and I LOVE my parents so much.

Every time I see a frail old person, my heart weakens. I start to think of my family and my parents. I never want to see my parents suffer or any old person go through a hard time. What affects me deeply is when I see someone old begging or waiting in line. Oh my days! NO NO NO!

When it comes to my parents, I fear the future because I do not want them to get old. I want them agile for me and for them. Maybe it is a case where I am not ready to leave my past nor my present. I am used to seeing my grandparents, and I expect that I should keep seeing them. I am used to seeing my parents go about their day, take me to school, take me to work sometimes, cook for me, or even just help me solve any problem. However, while I know it is time for me to reciprocate and do everything for them now and in the future, I am really scared of seeing them frail. I do not want to see them weak.

I am choosing to be positive than let fear come in my way. I pray that when the time comes, GOD will give them the grace and strength to remain agile and fit and I will also be blessed to support them with all resources most especially my time. I want to be there for them as they are for me.

So darling, be it that you have your parents or not, or that you care about them or not, remember that life is in stages. Savour and appreciate every moment with the people you love; that is all that will matter in the end.

With warming smiles,
