We Will Never Know Untill We Will Becomeposted 05 Jul 2012, 12:13Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.  Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time. Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad. All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have... We can Replace eraser But we cant replace our parents with another so We must love our parents and at least we can make them less worried about us by making few less mistakes and Loving them with Full Heart .. Make sure Nobody can Ever take place of our parents because they are the one who will never happy when you are not Comfortable .. “We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.” |

My parents went on caring for foster children for over thirty years. In that time they took care of over 300 children. Some for a very short time, others for a couple of years. Babies to teens. They also adopted some of them. My brother and five sisters. I can't count the number of graduations and weddings they attened through the years. Usually listed as mom and dad on the wedding progams, my father gave away a good number of the young women at those weddings. Godparents of more kids then anyone should be. They never forgot a bithday even after the kids left our homes. If possible they sent at least a card. Out of their care of children came my two sons. Both foster children of my parents, they went from calling them mom and dad to grandma and grandpa. Three of my sisters have not only given birth to children but have adopted a total of six between them and my brother has adopted two besides the one they gave birth to.
The kind of love my parents shared with us didn't stop at their deaths. It continues with the birth of two grandchildren and adoption of three by my sons...and yes, we all knew we were loved.
More specific to the original post, parents and all loved ones should be cherished each and every moment. I'm in my mid-30'a and luckily I've only lost 4-5 close relatives and friends so far in my life. The good that has come from those losses though, is that as a result I am much more aware of showing and speaking my appreciation and love for those who are important to me.
Any younger people reading this thread who have yet to experience loss of a loved one, friend, family or otherwise, I'm sure you've heard it before and probably roll your eyes each time you hear it (I know I did), but do yourself a massive favor and consciously show love to all who matter to you, and do it every time you see them. Somewhat conversely, if you have been dealt a rough hand in life and don't have any friends or family, or even if you do but don't share a connection or have a close relationship, there is always a way to attract love/positive vibes into your life and it's very easy: be nice to everyone and smile. That's it. I'm not saying you have to instantly become social if you're an introvert or tell everyone you love them like a hippie with a head full of acid circa 1967 - just look people in the eyes when you come in contact with them (at the store, walking down the street, at work, anywhere ) and smile. Not only will it make them feel good, but it will likely make you feel good as well and it will certainly bring that energy back your way. Sure, there are always going to be down times when you can't even force a smile, but those moments will become rarer and rarer as you focus on giving positive energy to others.
That's my "two cents" for the night (and rest of the year!). Sorry for the rambling babble, but hopefully it resonates with someone.
