When Was The Last Time?

• When was the last time you told your parents how grateful you are just for being their children?

• When was the last time you told your parents how sorry you are for the troubles you have caused in the past?

• When was the last time you looked at your parents and said in your heart, "Thank God for these people"?

• When was the last time you hugged your parents and said, "Thank you for the love and care you've given me, I love you so much"?

• When was the last time you bought a present for your parents outside their birthday?
  

• When was the last time you prayed for your parents?

• When was the last time you made your parents proud of your achievements?

• When was the last time you cancelled your date just because you want to be alone with your parents?

• When was the last time you thought to bring your parents with you when you saw an ad about some nice place?

• When was the last time you said to your parents, "Ok guys, relax now, today is my turn to clean the house"?

• When was the last time you were on your way home with nothing else on your mind but the thought of seeing your parents?

• When was the last time you've proudly told your friends about how great your parents are?

• When was the last time you thought about all these things?

Remember, your parents did all this for you, long before you could say a word. They did it, not because they had to, but because they loved you and they will keep doing it again and again, always and forever.

For them, loving you is like breathing, how can they stop?
