Isnt it amazing the cycle of life! When we were little children, our nagging of our parents never stopped. 24/7 we asked question after question after question, endlessly. When we were a baby, we just let out one scream and cry and our parents came running, regardless of whether it was the middle of the night, or they were eating, or entertaining guests etc. I think thats whats important to remember. Our parents did SO so SO much for us, we cant even imagine. They were there for us every second that we needed them and sacrificed so much for our own happiness and comfort. Now that they have reached an old age and need you, just do your best to be there for them as much as you can and make everything easy for them. Sabr is really important, but also shukr. Be grateful for these moments you have with them and for the fact that you are actually able to help them. How many people live miles and miles away from their parents and would love to have an opportunity to be with them. How many people’s parents have passes away and now they regret all those lost moments. So no matter how difficult it seems at times, just try to cherish it and do the best you can. And remember that one day you too will grow old and weak. You will ask the same questions over and over. You will demand for something and expect to receive it right away. And more often than not, your children will treat you the way you treated your parents!
