Close your eyes and envision the things you are grateful for in life. If the output of this was finite and materialistic, then we have internal issues to be resolved. Don't we often tend to not respect things which we have, taking it for granted in our daily life? A small thing as saying thank you and sorry might be too cliche for some but holds significant value in the opinion of others. An action of remembering your parents and talking to them is as quintessential as doing any other activity of the day.

The second person one sees is their father who is their mother's constant source of strength. As one grows up these two pillars of the child's life nourish and mould the child. Having seen this tree grow from being a mere seed they impart it all the lessons they've themselves learnt. However this period is where the child is still learning to fly and hence they are pinned to their parents. The transformation happens when this creature takes flight leaving it's nest that it results in emotional detachment quite often as compared to older times. The foundation which had been built so strongly begins facing mild tremors. Parents, having seen this individual since birth begin missing his presence and it results in a void creation in their life. They do learn the trick of moving on in life however always have  a constant ye...
