Children, God gifts to parents. They brought joy and happiness thru their priceless smiles. They brought comfort thru their warm embrace. Parents should always be at their children's side througout their journey going to adulthood. Parents must strengthen the values to serve as their foundation in facing life's complexity in the future. They will pass this stage in a short period of time, specially if we, parents are too busy working. But the thing is, once we failed to be at their side when they needed us most, We won't be able turn back time to be with them. However we can always replace any financial lost if we really need to be absent in work if they are sick or spend time with them and play.
We can always get back to that place where want to spend a vacation, but we will not get back to the times we missed any special occasion that is important to them. I can't go to Paris without them it's useless and meaningless. But a meaningful bonding in the nearby park would mean a lot rather than go to beautiful places without them. Drinking with friends, staying up late at night was a fun to me before. But now fun is playing with them, enjoying their giggles and doing an endless talk to my little angels. It is true that everything that is great in this world are free. We can't buy their love, we can buy them expensive toys and give them temporary happiness. But they would rather choose time with us playing which is totally free.
Our children will give us immortality, we may bid goodbye to this world but if we have done our part as a parent. Our love will forever be living in their hearts as they become parents in the future and pass on to their children. And that is how we will live forever.
