#3 I stop to say "Thank You" Papa

1. How do you think people value family these days?

     When you hear the word “FAMILY”, what usually comes to your mind? Do you envision a beautiful home filled with lots of love and laughter? Like, a family sharing meals and exchanging stories at dinner time? Or just gathering around the television set and bond?

     Looking at the present situation of our society,I can say that people value their family in various ways.Generally,people these days choose to share their time,money and effort with their friends hanging out and doing some crazy stuffs. But it doesn't apply to everybody.I can see that even though people are very busy working their ass off with hectic schedules,they still find ways and means to show how they love and value their family.Oftentimes,during their day offs and during weekends,I can see families spending quality time with each other in resorts,restaurants,malls and in parks.Others also go out of town for relaxation from a very stressful week and as well for enjoyment.People working overseas show their love to their family through the help of the world wide web.They chat with their families online,they send electronic mails and in some ways,they send gifts to their families through courier companies.Aside from that,some overseas workers choose to send letters because for them it's much more romantic and sentimental.Some people who cant afford to go out of town and go to malls and restaurants,they show that they value their family just by having a simple "salo-salo" and exchanging stories.

     We can see that even at the the present busy world,busy people still look for other ways to show how they value and love their family.

     In a world where most of us are caught up in our own struggle to be successful, we forget to keep in touch with the people who got us where we are, the people who gave us the confidence to conquer the world. But most of all, we should always share even a single hour of the day with the people who brought us into this world- our family.

2. How would you show you value your parents 10 years from now?

     Well,I think time does change but love for your family doesn't change.Ten years from now,my father could be so old,bald and could develop memory gap.But,my love for him will never fade but will become enrich as it was before.

     I could show that I value my father in many different ways.I could cook for him,buy him his medicines,take him to a vacation,bath him,push his wheelchair,buy him what he want,give him everything that he will need,make his milk,cut his fingernails.Most of all,show him the respect that I have for him that has never changed from time to time. 

     Aside from that I could take him abroad and spend the last days of his life seeing the beauty of nature.I would show him how beautiful the world is and make his life memorable and I would make him feel that his existence into this world has touched and renewed a thousand lives.

3. In what way can you say "Thank You" to your parents now?

     For me,actions speak louder than words.I could say thank you to my parents by paying off their hardships for me.I could say thank you to them by sincerely and wholeheartedly saying "THANK YOU MA AND PA FOR EVERTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME.YOU MADE ME WHO I AM NOW.I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"

      I am offering this song for them.

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to You

For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you

No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to You

There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to You
Thanks to You

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Teaching me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true
That I'm aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you
