Was thinking today... being from Zim and all...that many of us are so far away from home and we miss out on hanging out with our parents as often as we should. We can’t catch a quick coffee with mom or go for a drive with dad, share a laugh with them about small random things, or just go home to them after a hard day at work. We see our parents once or twice a year and it’s really sad. I was just thinking of how much our parents have sacrificed not just financially but emotionally as well to let us go off so far away from home so that we may live a better life than they are living back at home. How loving are they?
Most of our parents have never even been to the countries we have been to but they just trust that wherever we go we live fulfilled lives. They put us first before their own needs, making sure we are catered for and don’t want for anything. I feel overwhelmed when I think that I am here today because of the sacrifices my mom made for me. They may sacrifice money but most importantly they sacrifice time with us...they have missed most of our young adult life so that we could go off to universities to get decent education.
So this is to honour all parents especially those in Zimbabwe who miss their children so much and wish they could give them a hug or share a laugh with them or tell them to shut up and go to their room...LOL. Thank you for your love and sacrifices. May God bless you abundantly, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing!
If you one of the children who are far away from home why don’t you give your parents a call today, have a chat with them, share a laugh with them, tell them you love them and are grateful for all that they have sacrificed for you. I’mna go off and call my mama!
Be Blessed,
with love...tafie
