Reflection Essay

Love our parents. For we are all busy growing up, we often
forget they are also growing old. We cannot possibly thank our
parents enough, to the ones that made us whole. The ones whom we
owe our lives, the forming of our souls...The one who tucked us in at
night, the ones that stopped our crying in the dark. The ones who
made each sacrifices, to always put us first. Who explained all so
clearly, when nothing was what it seemed. Somehow, I just can’t say
enough how much I appreciate them being in the world. They are the
one whom painted rainbows when it was filled with broken dreams.
Life’s greatest blessing. They have us life, nurture us, dressed
us, fought for us, held us and of course, loved us unconditionally.
Family means that you are part of something very wonder and it’s a
place where life begins and ends with love. Hence why we should be
grateful. Raising a teenager is hard, and most parents are also aware
that being a teenager is hard too which is why, they stay by our side
as they know we need someone we can trust to lean on, to come for
advice and to share our lives, the good, the bad and the ugly. And for
that, we should be thankful for what we’re fortunate enough to have.
They have raised us to be strong and independent. But no matter
what, we’ll always be their little child and we’ll always need them.
They’ve taught us how to smile in the face of challenges. Even though
they may have failed at some parts, their goodness overrides that and
that should be enough. It doesn’t change the fact that they’re all these
in our lives.
