I have known a lot of people in my life who have suffered the loss of their parents. Some of their parents died just recently and some can't even remember the precious last moments they shared with them because their parents died when they were still very young.Whenever I ask them about it, they always tell me that they regretted not spending enough time with them and not appreciating what they have done and sacrificed until it was too late. They say that if they were given the chance to talk to them again even for only a brief time, the first thing they would say is that they love them so much.
I want to thank you God for blessing me with parents who are still alive up to this day. I can't imagine my life without them. Just the thought of losing them already brings me to tears. I know it is selfish of me to ask for them to have a longer life but for me, they deserve the best and they deserve more than what I can give to them. I love them more than anybody can ever imagine but I know that the love that my parents have for me is greater and is not measurable.
I want to thank you God for giving me the knowledge and wisdom of understanding how extraordinary my parents are. As I become older, I begin to understand the hardships and sacrifices that my parents have to go through. In order to provide the necessities of our family, they would work day and night. They would sacrifice their own sleep and their own food just to give them to me. Even though they are already tired, they would still continue to take care of me. They don't care about their health as much as they care for mine. Just a little fever would already make them worried. It makes me so happy because they care so much about my safety. They would give all they have without expecting anything in return.
I don't even know how to start thanking them for the love, care and patience they gave in raising me. I can't even imagine the pain and stress they went through when I was only a toddler. How about know when I'm already a teenager? Teenagers today have so many problems with their relationship with their parents because they want to experience freedom and be the ones who would decide what's best for their life. They don't see the meaning behind every opposition that a parent does to their decision and instead they get mad and ignore them. But sometimes it is the parents who can't understand their children. They would force their children to do what they want because they think that it is for their own good but they don't realize that they are only actually giving pressure to their children causing them to be emotionally unstable.
I want to thank you God for blessing me with such kind and understanding parents and that you have me become their child. I'm very fortunate to have the two of them by my side as I face the obstacles of life while some people can't get along with their parents as well as we do. When we are asked to write about our problems with our family in school, I can't write anything because I never had any problem with my family. In fact, I never had a dull moment in my life because my mom and dad are always there to support me and make me smile. Whenever I have problems, they would hear me out and give me the perfect advice in order to solve them. When I need to make an important decision, they won't decide for me but instead let me choose my own destiny. No matter what decision I make, they would be there to guide me and love me for who I am. They also accept the things that I can and cannot do and they always give me the will to never give up.
I know my parents deserve a lot but I don't know how, dear God, except to ask you to bless them as richly as you can and to help me live up to the example they have set. I would like to ask you to give them a peaceful and happy life as the years come by. I know I still don't have the ability to repay for all the things they have done for me because I'm still young but I will do my best to show them that I appreciate everything that they have done and that I love them very much. Thank you again God for all the blessings and please continue to guide us and take care of us in the rest of the journey we call life.
A Loving Daughter
