Time flies by real fast, with the blink of an eye, year’s fly by. And when one ponders upon the happenings of the yesterday, hopefully the blessed yesterday, we venture out into the realms of our doings, of all the things I have seen people do and people think of, and in every sense true,  I believe in remembering our parents. This random though has been on my mind for a long time now. It’s just that I could not get myself to write things down, thinking it’s quite a personal and a private emotion. But then when realization strikes, when it comes to our parents, there are far too many things to consider, the unconditional love, the profound loyalty, the forgiving nature, just blows me away.

The love that they have for us is so immensely strong, that allows us to take advantage of such a noble emotion. Yes, we all do it, but we choose to blindly ignore the fact that we don’t. After all we love them too. But reality bites and hits hard, when only can we open our eyes and our minds, do we get to realize their love in abundance. Parents care, they brought us into this world and so we are the same blood as is theirs, In our lives we do some real bad stuff, and we are forgiven, we go against them, make their lives a living hell, and they forgive us, we retaliate, rebel and create havoc, and still they forgive, because we are their children. We cause shame, turn out to be the black sheep of the family, who scar and tarnish the reputation and lineage of the family, yes! I am getting a little overboard with all this, only because you people, this is for you and me.  Yet! Our parents forgive.

I don’t know what you think of them people, I have seen a lot of these mortals who come with a mixed bag of emotions and mixed feelings towards their folks, to me and to most of us, who have had quite normal lives, our folks are angels. Yes at times they tend to get possessive, a little manipulative, but what the heck, they care, and probably come with a lil attitude, and I guess we must accept it.  They are my angels and yours, because no matter how bad we screw up, they are always there for us.  If not for angel’s who else will? There was this very nice person I knew until a few years ago. He passed away, but he taught me a few things about respecting parents. Not that I disrespect them, sometimes yes, anyway I used to call him “Chadaga uncle” he said “Son remember these two words, Matradevobhava and Pitradevobhava” which meant that your gods are your parents, and don’t ever forget that. Chadaga Uncle never believed in god, he was a strict atheist, he was spiritual though, but he did add a lot of meaning and value to my life.

There are some parents who do not behave like parents should, this what I am saying is not for those folks who had a predator, or a Devil in disguise of a parent, but for those lesser mortals, who have had good lives with folks and who realize the value of having them by our side. This world has a mixture of people, this blog is not for a specific group, it’s for you all to realize how important our folks are to us, and for you folks to realize where you stand as a parent when it comes to being one.

I honestly do not know how good a parent I will be, I never did thoughtfully listen to my parents, nor did I defy them in any way, I just did what I thought was right, unfortunately it did not turn out the way I expected it to be. I guess my parents are right, I should listen to them, I know they do tell me a lot of things for my own good, but then, I am a victim of my own vices, and I still think I am right, but after a fighting an unfortunate battle with my life, which some of you know, I do not think I am qualified enough, now to defy their judgments or insult their intelligence.  You all out there go through these emotions, the only reason I am using me, as an example is because you will all put yourself in my shoes and start thinking about your own life, and correct it.

Once you realize how important your folks are, once you understand the value of their love, you will start getting a lot more spiritual, and emotionally closer to them, which is very important.

Now I ponder to look upon those unfortunate individuals who did not have the love they could get from parents, I know how they live their lives, and I also understand how they shape up in life, self learning, a craving for love, the warmth, the closeness, I know what they feel like, I meet a lot of people because of the book I am writing, and they tell me so many things about their lives, so many people who did not have the love of their folks. Some that are adopted do good, some get love from other sources, like relatives from the maternal or the paternal side, these people realize what it is to have the love of a parent.  Some are really messed up in a sense, fall prey to bad company and become victims of their own worthless lives. These people, well I’ll tell you about them in another blog some other day.

In here its family, its love, it’s for you guys. The only fear I have is losing my loved ones, my family, I do not want to hurt them or cause anymore pain, I just want to see them happy. We all do in fact, and if we do not, it’s high time we did.

This blog is dedicated to our folks. We love you!!!!
