We are not in this world if not for our family. Family is our foundation here in this world. Family includes your parents, siblings and relatives. you could also consider your friends, and people that surrounds you even if your not related to each other.
Nowadays, these thoughts and believes are slowly fading due to a fact that most people are too self-centered and too much occupied on themselves. They say family is the most important of all in this world, because if there's no family you are leaving in this world like a zombie with no feelings and companions. As what they have said "NO MAN IS AN ISLAND".
But the question is does most people today value their family especially their parents even their friends?
I thought the answer would be YES, but not all people in this world. As what i have seen to some people who have careers and successful profession already forgot that they have still parents who needs them. Al they did is to send them in a place where there's someone who will care and provide their needs-home for the aged. They really forgot that they parents sacrifice many years for them before they reach their goals. is that what they say "Honor your father and mother"? IS this a way to honor them? Is there a time they thought to say "THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU" to their parents? Does this word really comes to their minds? I don' think so, because if does, they will not dare to it to them.
I want to share to you some parts of my stories in life. There comes a time in my life where i felt like hell and i am surrounded with darkness. I never stop to say "Thank you" anymore to anyone.
I am a product of a broken family. My parents broke up two years ago. few months after they separated, my life got miserable. My studies got affected as well as my social life. During those period were I was struggling to surpass it, I regret for not saying "Thank you and I love you" to my Dad because my heart was filled of anger and hatred against to him. Honestly, neither that time I don't want to see his face nor to her his name, but later on i realized it's no use to have a burden feelings in my heart against to my father.He's still my father after all. After that, I'm back on my normal life. Thus, I started to value my family because I know life is too short. Yes, I regret for not saying Thank you to him, but i know it's still not the end and I can amend my mistakes to him.
If I will be successful Engineer 10 yrs from now, I won't change my attitude towards my family. I will show to them how much I value and love them. And I know that time my mom will got oldies but in spite of that I won't leave my mom. She will always stay in our side even if I have my own family. I will not send my mom in the home for the aged. We, my siblings will care for her until GOD will get her from us.
But now, I can only do is to study hard to finish my studies, get a stable job, support my other siblings and my family, and live a wonderful life with each other. i will show them how much I'm thankful that they are my parents even though my Mom and my Dad will not be back together.
I realized how much painful for me to see those oldies left in the home for the age. I've got pity for them, I can't think what those children of them felt as they left and send their parents on that place. I really cant imagine for all those years they parents sacrificed for then, and they done such a horrible thing. i really don't know if Filipinos are also done these things, but I do hope it's not, but who knows.
Now, I got reminded how much I love my parents and how much I thankful to them.
I do hope, people will not break this tradition to be with their parents because our parents are very essential for our living. They are worthy to hear we say "THANK YOU" to them.
