~~~My Parents~~~

My love for them is unlimited & countless.It's because of them I am here.Without them I have no existance. I can't forget what they have done & their love & affection for me.I Love you mom and dad. I dedicate this page to my loving parents.We should have to respect and obey our parents.

We often find conflcts between our way of thinking and we call it as generation gap but have we ever thought that they are elder then us and they are more experienced in life. So they can never think any harm to us. They are our welwishers and they always want their child to be on top of the world. After all we need their love and so they do. We should not forget their love until our last day of life and we have to perform our duties as ideal children.In their old days we should have to take care of them.Whatever we do whereever we go we should have to give time to them because when we were child they took care of us and it's because of them we are what we are.So we should take care of them in their old days. We should make them feel that they are not alone we are always with them.Remember one day we will also become old and will be in the same postion.

~~~Parental Balancing Act~~~

"The hardest part of raising children is teaching them to ride bicycles. A father can either run beside the bicycle or stand yelling directions while the child falls. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard.

Sloan Wilson

~~~What Exactly is a Family ?~~~

Most families are, of course, made up of members related by blood or marriage, but the term family can describe any group of people drawn together by intimate ties and shared goals. And this sense of family seems sometimes to make people stronger individually and collectively.

Often families will informally "adopt" a friend to share holidays and special occasions with them, describing the friend as "one of the family". Or a youngster may form a close relationship with a relative outside the immediate family, making that person a role model and mentor. Great Britain's Prince Charle had such a relationship with his father's uncle Lord Mountbatten, whose almost legendary achievements in war and peace the young prince profoundly respected.Charles referred to Mountbatten as his "honorary grandfather."

~~~ F-A-M-I-L-Y ~~~

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. "Oh excuse me please" was my reply. He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you." We were very Polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said good-bye.

But at home a different story is told, how we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, my son stood beside me very still. When turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken. While I
lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the children you love, you seem to abuse.

Go look on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the door." "Those are the flowers he brought for you! He picked them himself; pink yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, and you never saw the tears that filled his little yes."

By this time, I felt very small, and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by
his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled, "I found 'em out by the tree." "I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you’d like 'em, especially the blue.

" I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway. I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days? But the family we left behind will feel the loss for
the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story? Do you know what the word FAMILY means? FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I), (L)OVE, (Y)OU
