Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.


Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.

Do you feel like your parents are not involved in your life as much? Do you feel like you are pushing them away? The reason is they are growing old... Sometimes you have to realise your parents are getting old and weak and they cannot function the way they used to. Maybe you have moved on in life, but this doesn’t mean you forget the people that have raised you maybe it’s time for you to raise them.

My mother has had four strokes I’ve seen her suffer through them but before her strokes me and my mother used to argue a lot we never used to communicate well I used to get angry that I always had to do the cleaning etc I used to get so fed up that should didn’t help. Since she had the stroke I saw her throwing up blood, going weak, my eyes opened... I almost losing my mother that day... It touched my heart so much I was in shock that is when I realised my mum is growing old she raised me now it’s my turn to raise her. Now me and my mother talk like we're best friends I tell her everything we gossip about boys and girly stuff I don’t mind doing the cooking or cleaning anymore she didn’t mind cooking for me when I was small, she didn’t say nothing when I dirty my trousers during potty training. So why should I complain about cleaning dirty dishes or clothing.

Sometimes you have to notice that your parents will need your support one day the way they supported you to stand on your own two feet. They have been there for you since you were born and they never left neither should you. Respect and love them until it is too late. So maybe just a small phone call a day or week can make their day.
