of parents

Sometimes I miss my parents. A large part of my growing up years was spent with them, and much of what I am today is because I was the world to them, and in turn, they were important in my life. Ma was the first to know of any failure of mine. And Dad was the first to know about any new mountain that I had climbed.

They taught me Freedom. With a capital F and that meant Freedom of the Mind and of the Spirit. They also taught me Responsibility, that may arise out of Freedom ...... or the misuse of it.

Parents tend to fade away into the background over time.
That I guess, is the nature of life.
And children sometimes permit that to happen.

Make your parents relevant to your life.

Relevance. Significance. That is all they need.
