Can such a beautiful love story really exist? Can people truly be so close that just being near them makes life feel magical? Life becomes a gentle melody when we are surrounded by those we love.
Yes, sometimes there are ups and downs - but isn’t that what life is all about? Nothing remains constant. Situations change, people change, time flows - and in that flow, we must learn to bend and adapt. That’s the secret to finding peace and happiness in this ever-changing world.
We cannot keep complaining. No matter how hard life feels, as they say, “No matter how dark the clouds of sorrow, the warmth of family can always shine through.” In today’s world, we are racing ahead - embracing modern lifestyles, adopting foreign cultures, running towards progress.
But in all this, what scares me is the thought of losing touch with our roots, our values, our traditions. We must never forget where we come from, and more importantly, we must not let our children forget.
Have you ever looked into the eyes of a tired mother or father? You ask if they’re okay, and they just smile. They’ll never tell you how much they’re hurting - because to them, your happiness outweighs their every pain.
That’s the love of parents - selfless, silent, and deep as the ocean. And it’s our responsibility as children to recognize it, to value it, and to give it back a thousandfold.
Children are the mirror of their parents. The way parents speak, behave, show respect or anger - children absorb it all like clay. That’s why nurturing a child is no less than carving a precious stone. In today’s time, instilling values is like planting a tree in a storm - hard, but not impossible.
Sometimes we say harsh words in anger. It happens. But if afterward your heart doesn’t ache, if you don’t feel a tug of guilt or a tear in your eye - maybe you’ve grown distant. Anger is natural. But how we express it, especially toward the ones who gave us everything, defines who we are.
Remember, their time is passing. Their age is quietly folding like the last rays of a setting sun. Don’t wait for the day when you sit in silence, wishing you had done more. Do it now.
Fulfill their dreams, no matter how small. They may never ask for anything - they might even scold you for doing too much - but don’t let that stop you. Buy them that warm shawl, plan that small trip, give them the gift of your time. Do it not out of duty, but out of love.
Because whenever you needed them, they were always there - holding your tiny hands, standing silently behind your every success, absorbing your every failure without a word. Now it’s your turn. If you used to meet them 10 times a year, make it 100.
Let them feel that their little child - their son or daughter - is always by their side. Be their strength when their hands tremble, be their smile when their knees ache, be their peace in the quietness of old age.
Because for a mother and father… no matter how old you grow, you will always be their little child.
