Mandy, a woman in her early fifties, watched with amazement a mother with her toddler of about 10 months, in a busy metropolitan city of West Africa. The mother sat at the front of a shop to breast feed her pretty baby girl . The toddler was really enjoying the milk from her mama’s breast as evident from her, raising one of her legs up. She was scratching her head with one hand and the other hand tightly held to the mum’s breast. After about 15 minutes, she took a rest from sucking, looking into the mum’s eyes with a big smile, hugging the mum and jumping from the mother’s hand at the same time. The mother put her on the floor,  held one of her hands and slowly released it for her to stand on her feet. They were both excited and smiled at each other. She patiently watched her as she learned to stand by herself.  What an experience!! It is interesting to watch them grow! The big question is whether it will be that interesting to watch the parents age. Folks! Be patient with your parents when they age and learn to walk again. Remember! They were very patient with you when you were young.

Dear God! Grant us the patience and wherewithal to take care of our parents when they grow old. Please take care of them as they took care of us when we were young, and grant those that have passed away eternal rest amen.  Have a parent friendly week.
