I shed the tear because I realized how I have failed to mention my love for my parents. I shed the tear, because I haven't properly stated how grateful I am for them taking time out of their lives to mold me into the woman I am today.
I can remember when I was young(er) and all the mistakes I made. And all the problems I caused. Yet, my Dad and Mom would ALWAYS mention how much they loved me. They have made MANY sacrifices along this journey to raise me. To love them in spite of their "imperfections" is sometimes difficult to do, but definitely worth it. During what parent's now-a-days would call "time out", I was made to write out a certain scripture, however many times my Mom would state.... And I will NEVER, ever forget what it has done to my heart and the appreciation I have for the parents God has blessed me with.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV
The power of love of the parents rises above distance. It overcomes distance and connects. No matter how old a child is, parents still look out for them so if even children are adults, parents are still concerned for their well being. If you view your parents as your loving allies, it will improve your relationship with them tremendously.
Love is the basic ingredient which forms the basis of all life on earth.
Be Blessed!

I'm sure you are not the only one who has not remembered to mention your love for your parents. I think it is something we are guilty of. It's something that usually goes uspoken but should be spoken of often. I think I will go and call my mom right now!
