Love your parents and treat them with loving care, for you will only know their value when you see their empty chair.
Though we all have a variety in what figures played maternal and paternal roles in our lives, we must put an emphasis on showing the love we have for our parents, consistently, for as long as they live. Show them love by giving them the gift of you! Spend quality time with them, listen to the same old stories over and over again, eat with them, clean for them, and make sure that you tell them, and show them in ways best suited for your own relationships, how much you appreciate and love them.
