It's easy to take your parents for granted. You forget or don't realize all the sacrifices they make for you on a daily basis. It takes a lot of work to raise happy, healthy children. Sometimes parents make mistakes. They aren't perfect, but they do love you unconditionally and only want the best for you. It might now always seem that way, especially when you've been punished, or you don't get your way. But your parents show you in many ways how much they love you. They work to give you shelter, to feed you, and to clothe you. They take care of you when you are sick, protect you when you are scared, and comfort you when you are sad. Show your parents how much you appreciate all they do for you by treating them with respect. Be courteous and have a loving and caring attitude toward them. Love them unconditionally.
