we went to the market together with my sisters, drank coconut-like drinks, and went to have fruits at the roadside. then we drove home, winding on the road, beautiful view from the top when we stopped..
before i left, she was there, sitting on top of the stairs. after i said goodbye, she said, “come here”.
“why?” i said.
“just come”.
she held my face to hers.
“i just want to have a good look at you before you leave”.
speechless with a smile..
the best feeling any person could have before leaving home to study.

-Sometimes it does not need to be anything fancy, just a phone call at least once a week, coz if you want to put monetary value on what they have done for you, even a billion dollars is never enough. Subtly say I love them or I miss them :p
-Give dad $50 in his account secretly when I have extra money, it’s pathetic but it’s the tought that counts.

i want to move my mother out of the house we grew up in to a larger home in a safer neighborhood. She wants to have enough bedrooms for at least 2 of her children and their families to stay when they come home every two years for our family reunion. She needs at least 2 bathrooms. She also needs an enclosed garage for safety and to protect her car from the elements.
My mom also wants a nicer car with power windows and a CD player.
I also want to get a nicer car for my father who lives in LA.

I want to bless my parents for all the hard times they’ve endured on my behalf. I want to spend silly amounts of money on them and buy them everything they need…take care of their bills…send them on a vacation…buy them a hot tub. get them a new car – lavish them. They certainly deserve it…especially since right now, all of their extra money is going to me.

i should probably start by giving back the love they have given me, with a better attitude and more patience. i say that but its always so hard when im talking to them they never seem to understand where im coming from..!

They honestly don’t deserve it.
I happily give up this goal.

my parents are now old and need help and support. i go every day do the things they need but still leave them with their own independance which keeps them with their dignity, they appreciate everything i do for them but it also gives me a lot as i see them ticking along to their best ability. they have supported me through all my life and its now time i paid my dues and i do it with love,there comes a time when we all leave and i want to be there till the end knowing i gave then everything i could to make things easier on them in their latter years

I will never be able to do this. There isn’t enough time or even money in the world for me to repay them for everything they have done for me. But I want to try. :) They are incredible and I hope someday I can be at least half the parents they were and continue to be for me. :)
