My parents

[Oggy]

Emotional, and very thoughtful Momma.

Parents/ Grand-parents are special, not until they'r e gone you then realise how much thye mean to you. I'm adopted if it wasn't for my mom and dad where would I be now, they're always there for me and my kids, all of them. Memories too are very precious, special, but the sad thing is they eventually fade, but not the feeling inside. My nan died a few years ago now and I still miss her, as I do my grandad, he was like a father/dad to me, as was also my step dad/Pops, god bless all in the big party of happiness called heaven.

My nan brought me up after raising four of her own children, three of which she was left with when Grandad died of a lung condition contracted during the WWII when he was gassed. I tried hard to provide NAn with little luxuries every week once I started working..... half pound of real butter or a jar of Nescafe instead of Camp coffee... the things she loved but just could not afford. once she got wise to this and forbade me from doing it again.... she was a proud woman.... I resorted to making her hampers for her birthday, xmas and Easter. She couldnt get round this. This year on the 26th of November it will be twenty years exactly since i lost her and I would give my entire years wgaes and more to be able to have one more day with her. Your parents/ Grand-parents deserve your respect and support.

Both of mine are well, thank God & comfortably off. If, Heaven forbid, that changed I'd gladly help out as I know it's a cliché but I do owe them and not just financially.
For a while I lived at home while working, they wouldn't take rent or upkeep from me but I insisted in bringing something home - anything from sausages, swets, cakes, newspapers, etc - every evening.

I like to help out my mom and dad, they were always there for me when I needed them, not so much in money as in help, decorating etc too.

Hello all, It is my first post I want your thoughts on this: Do you feel that because your parents may have supported you when you were younger, that you "owe" it to them to support them now? (Pay the bills they run up etc, just because they did it for you when you were younger and unable to work) Thanks.
