Most of us
are lucky enough to have dad and mom, to take care of us, supervise us, and
provide us with all our needs, starting from the basic up to our luxurious
demands. They nourish us, and also make us who we are, and educate us the right
way. I am a boy of 16 who is going on 17
and my whole life I have been living with my parents. However, not once have I
told them that I love them, never, I believe, or at least that’s what my memory
tells me. But today I wonder should I express my love to them by telling them I
love them.
I love my
parents so much, that I can’t express it myself. It’s true that I get pissed
off by them, and same goes the other way, but that doesn’t decrease our love
for each other. Every morning my mom wakes me up and prepares the breakfast and
school lunch, and sends me off to school. My dad goes to work every day and
comes back home and helps me all the times in my difficulties. And they do all
this just because they love me too much.
I on the
other hand, try to help them by arranging plates on the table at dinner times
or getting better results to make them proud but can’t do as much as they do
for me. I love them, and I want to prove it to them by working hard. But I feel
shy to directly telling them how much love I got for them.
You might
be wondering, who is this guy who doesn’t even tell his own dad and mom that he
loves her. But imagine this, if you have been taught your whole life, that
never express your feelings and emotions by words but by action, what would you
do? I am in such a situation that, I feel so awkward to even open my mouth for
such words when they come in front of me.
I still
remember when i was a small boy my dad would drop me off to school every day.
In the evenings when my wholes family would go out, I used to sleep in between
my dad and mom, on the motor bike, and my mom would happily carry me, being so
heavy since small. Whenever I would get sick, my mom would sit up late and
provide me warm water shakes, medicines etc.
Even today
my parents aid me to their complete potential. And I try my best to return the
affection, but I lack several skills in it. So I feel like going to them and
expressing my feelings to them about how much I love them. Time moves by really
fast, just yesterday I feel like it was my first day in school, and today is
the 2nd last year of my school life. I feel life’s too short and we
all should tell our loved ones how much we care about them. I believe most of
your stories are also similar to mine in some way or the other. So I want you
to go out there to your mom or dad who is in the next room and tell them how
big a chamber of your heart is allocated just for your parents. If they don’t live
with them or you don’t have the courage to tell them, write it, in a nice
letter confessing your thoughts and ideas to them. If you are an adult, I
recommend you to immediately take care of your parents and express your
feelings to them. God forbid, but you never know when a mishap might occur in
any of our lives. Such a bug tragedy can leave you startled and you may never
get a chance. So take the chance now and go make a change. Trust me, if you
express your love, your relationships would become even stronger than before.
I got this
pleasant idea from a chain Facebook status of a conversation which is given
