Spending about three decades of life, gone through a number of experiences but no experience was more strange than seeing parents turned aged and weaker.
While being teenager, our eyes remained focused on books, we never got time to see how mom and dad hide their gray hairs in hair color.
Friends’ gossip in college, the day to try something new to eat, the joy of the new installment of the novel, the preparation for the midterm…
In such engagements how can we find room to think that mother’s bones are weakening.
It takes so much time to make our skin shine, we have to buy and check every new cosmetic, in the hustle and bustle of making new designs of clothes, we don’t even notice that our father’s heels have completely worn out, now a little tiredness has set in.
Youth is based on fun contrary to which is tiredness…
Both are moving in opposite directions, we young people and parents are getting old.
And then by gaining knowledge, by educating ourselves, many losses can be avoided.
We cannot stop their ages, we cannot postpone their time, we have to do what every human being can afford.
Love, care, sincerity and attention …
Parents do not ask for as much care as we asked for when we were born and grew up. Just a little time and attention!
You do not have to stay awake at night, you do not have to be silenced …
You just have to stay awake when you are awake. You have to look away from the screen and respect the wrinkles on the beautiful face, the face that our Lord made the first sight of our eyes.
You are reading and writing, you understand the things of reason and wisdom, you can discuss philosophy, science, artificial intelligence, so just become emotionally intelligent.
Awaken affection and compassion within yourself, now is the time to pay your share.
Mothers are going through menopause, what is this period, what are its stages and challenges… Do you know this too?
Can you understand the connection between weakening bones and decreasing estrogen? Mother’s body is now going through a big change, it is not just an existence, it was your first home… You have to take care of it with deep devotion! Even now, mother feeds everyone first and eats the leftover curry from the pot at the end and you believe it when she says that she is not just hungry!
Time is passing, you are worried about the lost tops, but mother is now losing muscle mass, you are sad about her new pimple, collagen is disappearing from mother’s skin… The risks of inflammation are increasing… Do you know?
Father’s ankles are now starting to hurt, he often sits holding his knees, he complains of headaches a lot, sometimes he scolds him in the intensity of hunger, he used to not scold him earlier…
Obviously you have heard of blood pressure but do you understand the blood sugar system? Do you know about arthritis? You have learned to read faces after reading two books of literature, but in which closet does this father hide all the troubles of his job, have you ever been able to know?
Do you know the trials of the guardians of your orders?
Respected readers! We desperately need to educate ourselves on this. And if we are unaware, then all our education and awareness are of no use.
Know how much activity and rest parents need and both of these things are necessary to be in balance.
Walks, exercise, rest, good food…all are necessary!
And then above all, your time, your smile, your cheerful face and the beautiful sparkle in your eyes while listening to their stories…
Now let’s pamper our fathers, sometimes just like that and sometimes stubbornly!
In the era you are in, it is essential that you get all the information about their needs. No one else is as important as parents, if you lose them, life becomes like starting from scratch.
We are no longer children, now it is our turn to be the crown of our father’s head and the cool shadow of our mother.
