Stages of life and sorrow of stage four to parents.

Stage one:

Thank you, mother, for giving birth to us. You have suffered a lot for our sake. Thank you, father and mother, for caring for us dearly. During our early years, we were innocent and unaware of what is good and bad. We engaged in nonsense and mischievous activities. Our childhood days were spent with our father, mother, and siblings. We fought with each other, played together, and ate together. I have fond memories of my childhood days with my siblings. We would go to school together and come back home for lunch. We are aware of the hard work our father and mother put in for us. Thank you, sister, for helping our father and mother. We will never forget you as our second parent. Thank you, Ana.

Stage two:

This is the stage when we are in secondary school. Our parents worked tirelessly and saved for us. They provided us with new clothes. They never thought of buying new clothes for themselves, wearing torn ones instead, just so we wouldn't feel shy in front of our friends. Thank you, Apa, Ama, and sister. Your good deeds towards us are always in our minds. We love you, Apa, Ama, and Ana.

Stage three:

This is the stage when we are in college. It is the stage where we are about to start earning after completing our education. Our parents have high expectations because they have endured many years for us. Finally, we completed college, and the story of stage four is different.

Stage four:

We are now independent. Our parents need our help. Are we helping them? It is disheartening to realize that our elderly parents are still suffering while their children are independent. We are sorry; we are still unable to assist you. It is indeed a great shame for siblings like us.

To my friends, please help your parents. They are like gods to us. They mean everything to us.

Lastly, but not the least, my only prayer is for my Apa and Ama to have good health and always be happy. I will lend my helping hand soon. May all the parents on Earth be happy and receive support from their sons and daughters.
