Valentine’s Day is only 2 weeks away, and it’s a perfect time to celebrate love in all its forms. Whether you have a romantic partner, a close friend, a family member, or yourself, you can show your love and appreciation by giving them a thoughtful gift. One of the most important forms of love is the love between parents and children. Our parents are the ones who brought us into this world, who raised us, who taught us, who supported us, and who loved us unconditionally. They are our first and best friends, our role models, our mentors, and our heroes. They deserve our love and gratitude, not only on Valentine’s Day, but every day.
One of our favorite sayings is “Always my Father, Forever my Friend” and “Always my Mother, Forever my Friend”. These are not only lovely messages, but also powerful affirmations that can help you strengthen your bond with your parents. In this post, we will explore what these affirmations mean, and how you can use them to improve your relationship with your parents.
What does it mean to say “Always my Mother/Father Forever my Friend”?
To say “Always my Father, Forever my Friend” or “Always my Mother, Forever my Friend” means to acknowledge and appreciate the dual roles that your parents play in your life. They are not only your parents, but also your friends. They are not only your authority figures, but also your confidants. They are not only your guides, but also your companions.
Your parents are always your parents, no matter how old you are, or how far you are. They will always love you, protect you, and care for you. They will always be there for you, in good times and bad. They will always be proud of you, and happy for you. They will always be your family, and your home.
Your parents are also your friends, if you let them be. They can share your interests, your hobbies, your passions, and your dreams. They can listen to your stories, your problems, your opinions, and your feelings. They can give you advice, support, feedback, and encouragement. They can laugh with you, cry with you, have fun with you, and grow with you. They can be your best friends, and your soulmates.
How can you strengthen your bond with your parents?
Strengthening your bond with your parents is not always easy, especially if you have busy schedules, different lifestyles, or distant locations. But it is possible, and it is worth it. Here are some tips to help you strengthen your bond with your parents:
- Communicate with your parents regularly, and express your love and gratitude to them. Don’t just talk to them when you need something, or when something goes wrong. Talk to them when you have good news, or when you want to share something. Tell them how much you love them, and how much you appreciate them. Thank them for everything they have done for you, and everything they are doing for you. Let them know how they make you feel, and how they inspire you.
- Respect your parents’ opinions, feelings, and choices, and accept them for who they are. Don’t judge them, criticize them, or try to change them. Don’t argue with them, or ignore them, or dismiss them. Listen to them, and try to understand them. Appreciate their wisdom, their experience, and their perspective. Learn from them, and grow with them. Support them, and encourage them. Celebrate their strengths, and help them with their weaknesses.
- Spend quality time with your parents, and create memorable moments with them. Whether it’s in person, or online, or on the phone, make time for your parents, and make them feel valued and appreciated. Do something that you both enjoy, or try something new together. Share your memories, your jokes, your secrets, and your hopes. Laugh with them, hug them, thank them, and tell them you love them.
