She added, “I’m mindful that as a young nation, we all sometime or the other also need to deal with the fact that we have ageing parents. I am hopeful in the pursuit of our ambitions and dreams we also prepare to care for those who didn’t limit their parenting to birthing us.” The Union Miner also shared, “Every time we as kids threw a fit they were patient as much as they could withstand our tantrums – be it not wanting to eat what was served as a meal or ask for that evening out, a movie, go to a travel destination because someone in our class was going with their fancy parents or buy a favourite toy which was a rage amongst kids our age — all that without realising that our parents had a budget to deal with.” She further urged people to take some time out to have a conversation with their parents while expressing their love towards them. “While you who are reading this are probably dealing with many things in life just this moment, make time to say hello to your parents, have a chat, say you love them for who knows how long we have,” she concluded.

Lost my dad when I was very young and mom is now ageing and forgetting that she has called a few minutes back and calls again and repeats the same thing she had said earlier. I feel we have to be patient and len to them and care for them. Love you, mom,” expressed an individual. Another added, “Rula diya [You made me cry]. I was with my dad in the months before he went. Closer in the last few days. Looking back I feel there was a lot more I could have done for him and I failed him when he needed me the most. Will not make the same make with my mom.” “My mother is ageing. Unable to do work on her own but when I visit her she cooks for me whatever I love to eat. I make sure to visit and stay with her. The very thought of losing her makes me very sad,” chimed in a third. A fourth shared, “I lost my ma [mother] two months back and I wish I could spend more time with her. Wish I could do more for her. Wish I could just hug her one more time and say I love you more than I knew ever.”
