Childhood to Second Childhood!

When we were young our parents took care of us to their best ability –

Good food,clothes,health,vaccinations etc.They have had sleepless nights when we were unwell.But they never complained of getting tired or that they couldn’t work next day as they fell short of sleep.We were not born potty trained ,they have done every bit for us,cleaned our vomits…Many of us have been picky eaters they have adjusted with that too.They have taken loans for us,understood our needs,desires and made us what we are today.They have dealt with our mood swings.They are our parents who gave us this life so we can say it was their responsibility.This is one phase of life.

Then comes one phase where they

are getting old (referred as second childhood).They are getting weaker,fall in immunity,become picky eaters,not able to walk,not able to change their clothes -dependent on us for every basic need.At that time what are we doing -complaining,getting irritated,running away from responsibilities ,sending them to oldage homes,only bothered about our future,well think if they had thought the same way.There is a huge gap between the phases,we are prepared by them to bridge this gap.Consider yourself lucky if your parents are growing old in front of your eyes and you are able to take care of every bit they need with a smile.Ask those who have lost them young and regret that they couldn’t do much.

Parents maybe financially sound and independent but a holiday from you or a small surprise gives them immense happiness.Thats when they feel they have earned the most important thing.

Talk to them often it need not be a long conversation but the thought that you are there gives them the urge to live long 😊.Our parents will always love us and bless us unconditionally.
