Parents...

It’s always been the dream of any parents to have healthy children, nurturing and seeing them growing gracefully and healthily. Parenting is one kind of tasks every each one of us ponders upon. Through out the span of marriage life, parents are blessed to have children of their dreams. Plans are made for them. Parts and partial of the income are placed aside for savings hoping one day they will go to college and acquire good education. With full commitment and devotion, parents sacrifice for their children through the entire process hoping one day they can be successful in the near future respectively.

Thus, up to what point does parenting and nurturing should be called for a halt to a certain degree? In most cases parents would never stop ushering and guiding their children until it reaches to some extend. May it would be until the day they got their first job, the day they got married or even to the day when their grandchildren came into exist. Still there is no specific time when they would call it for a halt. Parenting is an everlasting piece of mechanism where one would never call it to a halt until it really ends.

Parents are the most caring and loving nature on earth. They offer unconditional love and supports to their children hoping one day they can achieve more than what’s have been there. Irrespective of their background parents sacrifice almost entirely everything for their children. In the same token, children look up at their parents as their hero as their general. They are like the best things children can possibly have. Thus, some may be luckier than the others. Fortunately it would make things much easier through the process of parenting. The unfortunate ones, however, will have to work double or triple and even much more harder so that their children can be much more better off than them. There is no question about that. Thus their mission and goals are somehow similar, if not the same – to be the person every mother and father are wishing and praying for everyday.

All parents are special at the own respective ways. All parents are proud of their achievement regardless of where they came from in the first place. However, some parents do deserve a special salute for their dedication and achievement placed on their children life span. These parents are those who are less fortunate but are able to provide a brighter future for their children. Despites of their races, such parents deserve the best they can have if, one day in the near future, their children would be successful and able to experience life way much better than them.

Speaking on behalf of all children out there, we must value our parental guidance through the happy and bitter years. Up to this point, no matter where we are right now, while you are reading this simple piece of article, all I am asking for is for every each one of us to look back and recall the sweet and bitter old days as reflecting the lives that bring us to what we are today. Those are the results of parenting. As parenting is a hard tasks of wide responsibility children who have made it better in their latter lives should look back and trace where they were coming from. Through out the years they all depend so much on their parents to a point where they get to where they are today. Appreciating parents for what we are today is not by paying them with a monthly bonus. We should try to make more efforts on spending more time with them as much as they have spent devoted their times for us since the day we were born.

They hailed for our existence into this world. They brought us tiny birthday cakes during the durations of our lives. Every morning they woke up preparing for our meal getting our books ready before going to school. They sent us off to school until we told them not to. Some waited all sessions in school sitting in the little classroom until we are comfortable with school and making new friends. Provide them piano lessons or put them in any sports activities to increase self-esteem and confidence. They waited with amusement on our very first day coming back from school alone, and the day our results are out on the walls or in the newspaper.

They shade their tears as we walked up the aisles making our way to the stage receiving our certificates and diplomas. They sat at the front row watching you as the minister or father wed you. Along the way they brag about you and me, and us all despites where and who we are today and which make us the jewels of their lives.
