I want my mommy…
Needless to say, once in a lifetime, any of us will use that phrase. And maybe, but just maybe, regardless of how much we might resent/hate/despise our parents in one particular moment in our lives, we all should remember the importance our parents play in our lives.
Let’s go somewhere in your past… No not when you were kids, further, when you were in your mothers’ wombs. Since then, your mother’s life didn’t become her own any more, she started dedicating it for helping you grow up. As a side note I am aware that there are abandoned children, or children who are aborted, but I am talking about normal cases now, not the notorious exceptions. So, she carries you in her womb, from when you were but some chromosomes lining up to create the being you are today. Your mother (and maybe father, in those exceptionally happy cases) live the rest of their lives for your well being (of course for theirs as well, but mainly for yours). All they do, they work in order to provide you the best future they could think of.
So, I was thinking, maybe you were thinking about it too, eh… Yeah, I still think I need to emphasize the importance our parents play in our lives. Yes, sometimes they are indisputably uncomprehending, been there done that, but seriously, let’s try to put ourselves in their positions. I doubt they want us to be unhappy, or to feel bad, and sometimes they go through all sorts of lengths in order to satisfy our needs. But yet, we loathe them, and in such an ungrateful manner, we seem to forget all they’ve done for us over the course of our years spent under their protective wings.
So, yes, I say this because I might not be the best child my parents could have, I don’t always respect what they do for me, and maybe a few words written down on a god damned web blog page won’t help me atone for the mistakes I’ve done, but yet, I want you all, even if there might be some older that have already left their childhood homes, remember what your parents mean, all they’ve done for you, and realise we’d be nowhere without them, and maybe the day you, yourselves will be parents, you’ll be more understanding about your children’s mistakes.
