Today was a pretty ordinary day except that I woke up way too early. Infact, I din’t sleep the whole night.
Last night, I was angry on some friend, and there it din’t let me sleep. I had some issues with this person and I wanted to clear them as soon as possible. So I came up online, emailed, and then was randomly surfing the net when this caught my attention.
Shagufta Abbas is a new friend from twitter, and it was really heart-rending to know that she din’t have her mother alive.
I mean I am not a big fan of poetry at all, but this one had simplicity in it and that’s what caught my attention.
Reading it all, a drop of tear dropped on my hand and I realized pretty soon why it was so. It was like, it made me realize how much we all take our parents for granted. My mom cooks for me, she does all the laundry for the house, cleans the house and everything in the world that I don’t know while I am still lying down on my bed, sound asleep. Dad takes me out wherever I want him to, makes me buy things mom won’t ever allow but NO !
I never realized their importance, Always took them for granted. Always thought that they are doing this coz it’s their responsibility. Always thought that I could just drop by saying “Thanks” for every effort they make, and that will be enough.
But it was today I realized, that I was infact WRONG. They were not here in this world to take care of me. They were born as free individuals to live their lives the way they wanted to. But they sacrificed a lot of their social activities just for me.
And so I think I need to do things to make them comfortable. I think what they want the most from me is my time. I have been pretty addicted to my computer coz of the internet but I will just try from today onwards to give ‘em more time and make them happy.
It’s 7.30 AM now so I will sum it up here. I think all parents in this world are unique but they do the same things for their children so that they don't have to worry for anything until they are alive. I guess it’s high time that we all learn to love our parents and show our affection towards them. And there’s no better way of doing this than to spend more time with them, and do things for them that make them comfortable.
So just GO and give them a tight hug.And make them realize how much you love them !
I love my parents, and can’t even imagine my life without them. Can you ?
