Our parents worked hard and made sacrifices to raise us as best as they could. Even though they don’t have real superpowers like comic book heroes, their kindness, love, and care make them real-life heroes. Today, we’re sharing stories about the loving things our parents did to keep us safe and happy.
The Story:
My dad never liked my husband. He thought I deserved someone better. On our wedding day, he looked worried and kept asking me, “Are you sure you want this? Are you sure he’s the one?” I told him, “One day, you’ll see his good side!” He nodded.
Last week, Dad had a stroke. When I told my husband, he was at work getting ready for an important meeting. He canceled it and rushed to be with me, making sure my family and I were supported.Later, I went to my parents’ house to get some things for Dad in the hospital.In order to ensure that my family and I were supported, he canceled it and hurried to be with me. I later went to my parents’ house to pick up some supplies for my hospitalized father.
I was shocked to discover a large number of pictures of my spouse and our children in his drawer. I am aware that Dad only saved the pictures that have special meaning for him. That demonstrated to me that he had come to like, accept, and even love my husband over the years. I’m happy to report that Dad was mistaken.
