Parental Holidays

"Father's Day" is coming up on Sunday, and last month we celebrated "Mother's Day."  Personally, I think it's great that we have these days set aside to honor our parents, but in all actuality, we really don't need a special day to say that we appreciate our mothers and fathers.  If you truly love and appreciate your parents, they should know it on a daily basis.  I don't have to wait until "Mother's Day" to tell my mom that I love her, or show her that I care with some sort of gesture.  Also, if you're not kind to your parents throughout the year, what's the point in being kind to them on that one day?  My
great-grandmother used to tell us to give her flowers while she was alive, and those flowers weren't just the beautiful, colorful, flowers that we can smell, but it was the way that we treated her.  She always said that when she died, it didn't matter how many flowers she had, she wouldn't be able to see them.  So, if your parents are still alive, and they're decent human beings, treat them well, and count your blessings!  Have a great weekend!!
