"The kids have grown so fast," is the usual remark, someone makes, when they see them after a long time.
But have they really ? For us, they will always be 'Little children"
Yes, we do have to let them grow, and lead their own lives, but deep down they should be secure in the knowledge that they have our support.My parents, were always there for us, during our kids growing up years. A late evening at the office and there were my kids who were looked after by my parents, all washed, fed and kept ready to be tucked in for the night.
Our care for them, even as they grow up into adults, and our concern about the little blimps that they pass through makes a lot of difference, in terms of their emotional security. It really does not matter how anyone views our concern, so long as they are indepedent and we give them their space.
I have a friend who had taken his daughter and her husband under their wings after they went into a huge financial loss, especially that the girl, had eloped with her now husband, I think that was a magnanimous act on the part of the parents.
Nothing should stop us in always being concerned about our kids and of course whats happening in their lives.
I always love that phonecall where my mother chatters to me and realise how blessed I am, I feel so wanted and loved.
So dearies, make it a point to show concern, to inquire and of course that phone call will mean a lot.
The greatest gifts you can give someone are your time, your attention, your love, and your concern.
