A Special Day

Birthday,Anniversary,Mothers Day,Fathers Day..a special day to celebrate a special occasion every year.Do we really need a special day to announce our love,our thoughts to people who are special to us?

When is the last time you tell your husband/wife or mother/father you love them?When is the last time you kiss your husband/wife or your mother/father?When is the last time you do something to show your appreciation to your husband/wife or mother/father?Their birthdays?Mothers Day?Fathers Day?Your Anniversary?Your Parents Anniversary?

Do you know when is your mother and father birthdays,and what year?For married couple,do you know your mother in law and father in law birthdays,and what year?

I try to be a good son to my parents.I wish I could do more,because I know no matter how much time I spend with them,no matter how much love I showed them,how much money I give them..it just won't be the same with the amount of time,money and love they showered you with while bringing you up until now.

When we were growing up,our parents will do their best to give everything to fulfill our needs.They bought toys for us to play with,prepare food for us to eat and they make sure we eat good food so we grow up healthy,sent us to school,universities.In short they attend to all our needs.Our parents never ask us to give back what they have given us,treat them how they treat us,but after growing up and we our self become adults,we should know how to repay them,but instead some of us forget or choose to forget.We prefer to do things that fulfill our needs and satisfaction.We seldom visit our parents,maybe distance is the reason but in this modern days of voice calls,video calls,can we give excuse of not calling our parents,at least once a week?

When we want something from our parents,we want them to give it to us then and there,but now,when our parents wanted something from us,which I am sure is not something that happen very often,do we do it or give it to them then and there too,or do we give excuse just to get away from it,or we still do it but on our own sweet time?From simple chores like do the laundry,take out the garbage,wash the dishes to can you send me to the clinic,can you take me to the bank,can you help me with the groceries..how often do we help our parents?To some of us,even when asked to do something we find it hard to do,being able to offer to do something for our parents is maybe out of the question!

Even a call to ask how they are can light up their day,just imagine how they would feel if you come to visit,take them out shopping,take them for dinner.Appreciate your parents because we are who we are today thanks to them.We never ask for their love but still they showered it upon us everyday,now it is our turn to return the favour.
