I feel deeply pained when I see elderly parents still suffering or struggling just to eat or survive. I often ask myself, what could be going on? Is it that these people have no children? Or are their children simply irresponsible? So many questions run through my mind.

The truth is this: Parents, especially in their old age, do not deserve to suffer—no matter the circumstances. I understand that some children may have their own reasons for behaving the way they do, but the fact remains that your parents are your parents. Nothing can ever change that.

Family is the bedrock of every child’s life. It is the first and most important foundation. It should never be forgotten or taken for granted. No matter the situation, family remains family. They are the ones most likely to stand by you in times of difficulty. A child should never forget his or her family—regardless of where life takes you, or how much you achieve. Your family should always hold a special place in your heart.

Marriage, work, or any other commitment should never stop you from caring for your family. If a woman gets married and her husband becomes the reason why she neglects her family, such a man lacks respect for the value of family. That kind of influence can push a woman into situations she may not be able to handle. When trouble comes, it's often the family that steps in to help. But if you've distanced yourself from them, how will you seek help? It will be much harder.

The same applies to a man who allows his wife to make him forget his roots and abandon his family. That kind of behavior is both unfair and dangerous.

Children must always keep their family close to their hearts. Doing so helps them stay grounded and go far in life. Sadly, some children forget their background, upbringing, and parents just because they think they have “made it” in life. Others abandon their families in the name of marriage, as though being married erases where they came from. It is truly unfortunate, and such an attitude leads nowhere meaningful.

Take care of your roots. Look after your family. Do not forget your parents and siblings—it is not only a duty but a blessing.

Even if you come from a poor background, it does not change the fact that they are your family. You owe it to them to give back, no matter how successful you become. If you’re someone who neglects your family because you feel you no longer need them, you are simply setting yourself up for regret. Life has a way of repaying us for our actions—you reap what you sow.

In all things, put your family first. Care for them, support them, and make them happy. In doing so, you attract greater blessings, peace of mind, and true fulfillment. Never forget: if you were not born into that family, you would not have the chance to become who you are today. Honour them, and you will go even further in life.
