Before anything, I want to thank Allah for blessing me with my parents.
My parents raised me in order to be the best version that I can be.
My parents didn’t always agree with each other on everyting, but they did agree that they wanted what was best for me.
They both sacrafice a lot for me, love me, and I love them forever.
Parenting lessons my mother taught me still resonate with me.
I can hear her voice in my head.
Right time, right thing, right place.
Don’t go one hundred percent.
Using a paint brush and using a pencil are both beautiful if you put in the effort.
Doing your hardest and sharpening the saw equals work.
Parenting lessons my dad taught me has influenced how I see and confront life.
If I get scared or nervous, he would teach me to be fearless and somehow, I would not worry so much anymore.
“Go away, my dad is here, my mom is here, I am here!”
If I needed something, I always found that I could get it.
I was raised to be happy and thus, a happy life.
Even after hardship, things work out in the end.
Something they both always tell me:
“I love you”
Thank you mom and dad.
I love you too!
I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you both.
I pray my husband and I are able to leave parenting lessons for our children as well.
