Loving Parents

Submitted by:Sharifa

I am thankful for my Mom and Dad; they have done so much for me. Whenever I need advice or guidance they are there for me. Ever since I was a little girl they have taught me to kind to others and not to be selfish. I love my Mom and Dad, and I thank God every day, He blessed me with the greatest parents in the world. Not many of my friend’s families are still together! There Mon is one way and their Dad somewhere else. Thank God my parents are still together and very much in love with each other. They have shown me that love is more than just a word; it’s a relationship that requires having respect for each other. Listen; let me tell you a little story! My Mom had a stroke seven years ago and my Dad stayed by her side and helped her through her hard times. From what I am hearing most people would have left their love ones and gave up, but not my Dad; no! He’s not a quitter. He stayed by her side all day and night. That showed me; not because someone is sick that mean you give up on them. Love is a very strong and powerful bond, and my Mom and Dad are still in love, it’s been over forty years. Thank God for blessing me with loving parents! Of the eighteen I have been here, God has blessed me with so much all because of the love of my family. I want to thank you Lord, thank you thank you so much for your mercy and grace.

To my generation, I would like to say when your Mom and Dad yell and scream it’s because they love you and want nothing but the best for you. So please settle down and listen to them; your behavior may even help to strengthen their relationship!
