I do not understand how a person could not make time for their own parents. Your parents are the ones who gave it all to you. A place to live, food in your belly, clothes on your back, and most of all LOVE.
And yes, I know that not all things they do are perfect, and when you look back, some things are just not right, but still....Its your parents.
By the age of 38, I had lost both my Mum and my Dad. I would do anything to have them back and to make all things right. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them. Good things, funny, things that make you HMMM....LOL. But the point is, I loved them as they did me.
I worked in a home when i was young, and I had seen so many people just "dropped" off and forgotten. Kids didn't want to have the burden of "raising" their parents. Long story short, I was the one who lucked out in the end. I got to hear the story's, feel their love, get to know them.
