L-O-V-E

I wonder how painful it is for my parents when I was on my teenage years. Being rebellious, doing things inappropriate and not to mention my over all craziness for this word called "Love". I do well at school, having high grades, being popular, and a ton of friends. Every time I received my disciplinary action I move closer to my peers. My parents are great! At least I realized that now, I love them. But way back, they are ALSO one of the antagonist people I've ever seen! Of course, teenage years - blinded by these phrases "I just want to be happy" "I don't want to be alone" "I want to be free". Sounds familiar? Of course! I am not the only person who felt that way, Am I? And it’s really hard to believe that once we are on their shoe, we will feel the same way that they did. I do not have a teenage daughter yet but in my daughter's early age, there are instances that she ignores me for some reason, and that hurts me. 

From childbirth until we're 3 years of age, we place all reliance from our parents. We need them. They fed us, clothed us, taught us to walk, and a lot more! And It is hard for a parent to be taken for granted that easily once our children already know how to do things all by themselves. 

Sometimes, we children misunderstood what our parents are trying to portray when we were still young, but eventually when we’re mature enough and have a family of our own, we will realize what our parents were telling us and those are all true. They happen, you’ve experienced it, you will learn from it and the best of all, you will realize that your parents have already told you about it. 

Our parents care for us no matter how we misinterpret what they are telling us. And they keep on telling it over and over again with all of their might though it caused them so much stress. When I got married, My parents words of advice keeps on haunting me. I love them ever since I was a child and I admit that I got blinded by my whim and didn't realize that I’ve hurt them so much. But no matter what trouble I caused them, they're still here for me, to love and support me even more, just like our Father in Heaven. He loves us and died for our sins. I am asking God to lengthen my parents’ lives more so that I can spend more time with them. At the very least it is not too late. And for that I understand that being a parent is the most valuable profession on this earth. Yes, It is painful at times but It is happiness; and the greatest? It is PRICELESS!

When the right time comes, you will know what I was talking about.
