New found personality…take a peek^_^
Saturday, April 29th, 2006Parents are our partners and they have big responsibilities. In the family, they serve as the home’s twin pillars.
Being parents is never a joke, and I guess almost everyone—especially the parents themselves will agree with me.
But what makes me really wonder is that why do people get married? Why do they want to reproduce and have children that only adds a pain their head, and then sacrifice a lot to their kids when they can always stay single and enjoy their lives?
Parents deserve to be our role models. They should be the ones whom we should all look up to for they have to give up a lot, including their independence, single lifestyle, and a whole lot of other good things just to have a family and have kids – just like me.
We are all products of our parents’ love for each other, and, they also love us, too. This may seem “corny”, but little do we know that the corny things in this world are true.
But am I worth my parents’ pains and struggles? Oh, I’m so ashamed; I want to cover my face! But whether the answer is a yes or a no, for them, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that really matters is a four-letter word called LOVE. They love us even though we say nasty things to them or talk back at them.
Some parents, on the other hand, don’t seem to show their love for us. But believe me, they do love us. They just don’t show it too often for if they only knew how much they love us, it could kill them!
Some parents may be strict and they may give us curfews and other “pagbabawal”, but it’s only because of their overflowing love for us. It’s not that they don’t trust us, it’s the environment which they don’t really trust…am I right beloved parents? For them, the only safe place for us is beside them. As much as possible, they want to shield us from whatever danger is lurking outside our homes.
Parents also help us realize our dreams or what we want to be in the future. Back when we were little, our parents would ask us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Eventually, we would answer back, “I want to be a doctor!” or “I want to be a super model! Or a singer! Or a teacher!”, or better yet, “I want to be a soldier!” Then our parents would smile. They would even purchase us little toy kits or miniature thingies for us to practice on our dream profession.
Parents are such wonderful, marvelous, and loving people. They try to understand our every gesture just for us to feel comfortable. And even if we disobey them almost all the time, they still continue to support us, because they love us so much!
Thank you, Mama and Papa for your never-ending love for us, even though we are never worthy of it. But here, deep here, you can be sure that you have the biggest place of all! We want you to know that we love you, too, and that we will try hard to prove to you that your sacrifices and the efforts you have exerted for our sake didn’t go to a waste. They weren’t done for nothing.
Will I be a Papa someday, too and have a son like Philip Hope?
Well, it certainly isn’t a bad idea, is it?
