Blood is Thicker than Water

The Rents

All human beings, except ones made in labs(sorry), all come from two people, a mother and a father. Our birth givers,  our caretakers, and our first teachers. We are who we are because we built a foundation off of what our parents taught us. Even if that foundation was built by a tough relationship, it is still what makes you who you are.

But unfortunately, not all human beings are able to fully grow with their mother and father in their lives. Many children go through divorce, unexpected separation, and even death of their parents to live their rest of their lives on their own or with one parent. It is a sad reality but its a reality which we have to accept. So next time you say you hate your parents, or you never want to speak to them again, think about what they do for you.

First and most importantly, they let you live. They let you be able to breathe, to be able to see, to be able to do any of the things you have done in your life because many parents, unfortunately, get abortions, or kill their unborn babies through third party means. So really think about that. Think about you not being born.

Secondly, they feed you, bath you, give you access to water, put a roof over your head, and put clothes on your back. Even if they've only done this for a short period in your life, they still did when you were a child. They had to deal with the thick and  thin of your childhood and they did that out of love, compassion, and understanding of you.

Lastly, they teach you what you need to know to live in this world. It may not start off as so, but they teach you based off of their life experiences. They teach you right from wrong. They teach you how to treat people. They teach you that life is rough and you must always find a way. They teach you everything you will need to know to survive in this world.

The sad thing is, some children who grow into into their adult years don't realize these lessons until its too late to say thank you. They wait until the day their parents are completely out of their life to finally say thank you for all their parents have done for them. So you know what you should do?

THANK THEM! You don't have to thank them everyday, (it'd be great if you did), but thank them every so often as a reminder to them and yourself on how much they really mean to you and how much you mean to them. Your parents will not always be there and that is for certain. So make their time on this planet worthwhile with the love from their children.
