P is for Parents

"Mama? Where are you? I'm scared!" the little girl cried out as she clutched the sheets to her chest. Soon the door opened and your Mom walks, with a worried expression on her face. " What is it?" she asked as sat down beside me. " I had a very bad dream that you and Daddy disappeared and I never saw you again." Mom lifted her hand, stroked my cheek and pushed me down gently so I plopped down on to the pillow. " It was only a dream, besides we would never leave you." she answered. " Ever?" " Never. Now please go to sleep and think of happy thoughts." She kissed me goodnight and left the room. Soon it was dark again and everything was quiet. Knowing my parents would never leave me, I contently fell asleep.




This is one of the many memories of what either my Mom or my Dad would do if I either had a bad dream or had any other problems. For example, being scared of the monster under my bed or in the closet. Don't try to be fearless and say that you were never in your life scared of a monster somewhere inside in your room because I'm very sure that I have never met a person, who when they were really young, was scared of the monster in their room. I don't think it's possible. I guess it's just one of those things that happens to every kid in the world.




The definition of parents in my opinion is someone or some people who nurses you and raises you, who can be able to put up with you and make sure your life in the future will be successful. Parents don't need to be the ones, that well...created you, it could always be someone that you love as a parental guardian. Like for example, if you were a orphan, you might be adopted into a family that isn't related to you, but they care about what happens to you and love you enough to take you into their life and take care of you.




My parents are, in my opinion, the best parents I could ever have. They know when to have fun and when to be serious, they help me out, and make my life so amazing and wonderful. I'm sure most people feel this way about their parents too. I would never wish my parents could be different because my life would be different if they were. Parents are like role models and whatever they do can influence a child. I think this is why it's so important to be a good parent.




My Mom is very wonderful. She's talented, smart, funny, pretty and kind. She is very helpful and generous when it comes to homework and when I need help. She would encourage me to turn my stale and idiotic piece of work into a marvelous and lively one. Not only that, she also explains things so amazingly that I get this huge picture in my head and soon I remember it for a long time. That's how awesome she is.


My Dad is quite different than my Mom but not too much. He still acts like a little boy even though he's in his 40s. Though at times he can be funny, he can be very serious too. Though that is rare. He teases me all time and does just about everything to embarrass me. He finds it very amusing and I certainly don't. When he explains things to me, he explains it in a entirely different way that I can't understand sometimes and I have to ask him to translate into a much simpler language. My dad works as a surgeon at Grand River hospital in Waterloo. He's a bone surgeon that works on people's joints. Usually he'll come back home around 5 PM but sometimes I don't get to truly see him in a couple of days. That's why I cherish the smallest times with him, even if it just means just having a small conversation at the dinner table.

I know that some people think that their parents don't love them just because they do something that you really didn't like or they say that you are very unorganized but I don't think this the case. Parents just know what is best for you and just want you to be the best person you could ever be. Why do you think they send you to such a expensive private school? They just want the best education they can get for their children.

To conclude this, parents are probably going to be one of the most important people in your life. They teach you, care for you, help you a lot, and love you very much. Even though some people just want their parents to disappear from their lives, I would never want such a thing, especially to one of the people I love because some day, you might regret that choice.

Life Lesson: Love your parents and always tell them that you love them. Because you never know if they will be here the next day.

Ms.Weldon, I commented on Hayley's blog.
