As a way of getting blessings from parents, children need to learn the art of giving back after all they receive from their aging parents. Some children have never realized the importance of a parent and to some extend even after being blessed they will still neglect them without knowing the kind of trouble they are putting themselves in
Parents work hard just to make sure their sons and daughters excel in life and its always their pride when such dreams come true. They do all it takes to make sure they send children to school, deny themselves good life , clothing and even eating just to make sure a child secures quality education and lives a good life.
Some children have been good enough to remember the sufferings the parents went through but some have even gone to an extend of denying them in public because standards have been raised. Children who neglect and even deny their parents attract a life full of curses because of the tears a parent sheds.
