Being a
parent is a great responsibility given by God. It is a parent`s obligation to
raise their children well. They provided us a house to live in, food and water
to take in, providing the basic necessities and. They take care of us, give
their full support to inspire us, they encourage us to do well especially in
school, they give all their efforts to give us a good life and they sacrifice a
lot just for us.
Life would
be so hard if you live in this world without any parent taking care of you. No
one will cook for you, send you to school and provide your daily necessities.
In school (especially in grade school), we were taught on how to express our
gratitude to our parents. One way is by giving them a card with those popular
lines like, "Thank you for everything, I love you!" most
likely when there is an occasion. But as time passes by, I don`t spend time
to write a card or say those words in front of them anymore just because I am
shy to tell them. I missed the chances to say thank you to them when I was
still in grade school
Now that I
am already a teenager, my parents are working abroad, a hundred miles away from
us. My mother had always wanted to work outside this country. But on my
surprise, she asked her agency for an extension of her preparations before
leaving the country. She wanted to be on my birthday before she`ll leave. She
even went to our school for me to also celebrate my birthday with my batch
mates. But as far as I remember, I did not tell my mother even a simple “thank you ma.” As I think of it today, I
regret it very much.
But despite
of the distance between me and my parents, I still have a chance of telling
them what a parent wants to hear from their child. Distance didn't stop me in telling
them how thankful I am to have them. Every time we chat, I always have time to
tell them “Thank you kaau Ma/Pa.”, at
least. For all their hard works and sacrifices, I should not forget to say how
thankful I am to have them in this world.
Thank you
for my parents for taking good care of me. Without them, I wouldn’t be here. :)
