the importance of being loved
I just came back from visiting my aunt and my dear little grand niece. She is the most adorable little pudding I have ever seen and seeing her waddle around the house made me just want to go up to her and pinch her chubby cherub cheeks. Anyway, that is besides the point. The point is that it is important to be loved by one's parents. I was shocked when I heard about another grand niece who ran away from home. She's only 14 and she's going through that rebellious phase of her life. She ran away to go to her friend's house to stay before going over to my aunt's place. Her parents (my cousins) don't really pay attention to her or her sister and they focus mostly on her little brother who's the youngest of the three and the only boy.The lack of love can turn a bright young child who was so willing to trust others, who always was laughing, cracking jokes and smiling into a rebellious juvenile delinquent, going against the wishes of others just to gain attention. When I become a parent in future (if I ever get the privilege of having my own children) I want to love my children. Of course, it is easier said than done. That's why I'm thankful for my parents. They may not be perfect, still having to improve in some areas of managing their children but I'm glad at least they love all 3 of us equally - regardless of gender, age and 'rank' in the family. I hope my grand niece starts channelling all that bad energy, the rebellion and everything into something else. Something that will do her good.
