Our parents are the very reason why we are here. They are the one who gave life to us and has supported us in all our needs. But the question is, have we ever thanked them for giving us the support and love we need? I may not be very expressive in words but I show them in my own way how thankful I am for having them as my parents.

Me too..I'm not that expressive when it comes to showing how thankful I am to my parents..But I guess there are lot of ways to say and express your thank you's for them, for me I do not say it directly to them because I don't wanna feel appreciated for that, instead I do let them feel how important they are in my life through actions. I don't do things that's against there will, yet do things that they wanted it to be. Being there when they need you to and find time to be there for them.

I have many times. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wasnt for the way I was brought up. Now, I sure as heck didnt come from the brady bunch kinda family. It was not a good situation when I was young and then my parents split. But then I look at all of the good things that are in my life now and I cant help but thank them even for that horrible time, because without it I would not have ended up where I am now raising my own family with love and compasion.

It should be rightful to give thanks to our parents. and I agree with you that they are the very reason for our existence. I give thanks to my parents too. In words and in actions we should show them our gratitude. you should try to develop telling them that you love them. I have given them thanks from time to time. even though some parents are not that good, they still deserved to be given thanks.

I have thanked my parents in my own little ways. For me, by simply giving them respect they deserve is a way of thanking them. My other way of thanking them is by abiding the rules they have established for us to walk in the right path of life. I do kiss and hug them and tell them I miss them. And most of all, I appreciate them for raising our family well and telling them that they are the best parents in the world. They may not be perfect but I know that they are doing their best for our family.
