I used to be one of those kids that didn't think very much about Fathers Day. It was just another day, except you get dad a card and a gift. You're saying thank you for all of the things your father has done for you.
At 14, my whole thought process changed.
Now I know how lucky kids are to have their fathers. Some kids don't think its a big deal, just like I used to. But it is. It really is.
I do have a point to writing this. My point is...always make sure your parents know how much you love them. Fathers Day is a big deal. So is Mothers Day.
I always tell my mother I love her. Even if I'm mad at her. I hug her before I leave the house. I tell her I love her before I go to sleep. I hold my moms hand when we are out somewhere. I spend time with her. I say thank you. I tell her I'm sorry when I know I've done something wrong. I make sure she knows I love her. I tell her when I really appreciate something she has done.
Why? Because I know that I could lose her at any time, any day. I want everyone to realize that.
I wish I could make people realize that.
What if one of your parents died today? What would you want to change about the past?
Remember this:
There isn't much that is unforgivable. Your parents are going to make you angry. And your going to make them angry. Don't waste your time staying angry at them. You never know when they will leave you forever.
