Parents aren't the people you come from. They're
the people you want to be, when you grow up...
Yesterday was cold and windy, but it didn't stop us from
going to the house to do a few things. At the same time
we got to spend some time with my parents. Arvid and
my dad worked together installing some grip bars in the
bathroom. My dad was the helper and he was so happy.
We enjoyed a few hours with mom and dad. Arvid and my
dad worked, mom and I chatted. Everyone had a good time.
When my dad got back from New York I personally
thanked my cousins and their spouses for taking
such good care of him. He stayed with one of his
nieces and after thanking her she responded:
Nad it was a pleasure taking care of your dad. It’s the
first time we got to spend time with him one on one
I can’t stop thinking how hard he work to help us and
to bring us all over here he laid the foundation for my
mom me and my future generation and being with him
was the most precious time I have spent God bless
and thank you all. Love always Ayome

that many of their families from both sides are now living
in the USA. My parents have NEVER asked for any credit
for what they did. They looked at it as a family duty to
help family, but I must say it is nice to know that
their kindness does not go unnoticed by some.
There is no one like my parents. Their generosity is
unending. Sometimes it goes too far, but that's them.
I learnt from the best and for me being humble and
grateful is something I will always be thankful for.
I saw how they lived and I wanted that in my life.
After we left mom and dad's home we
came home changed into warmer clothes and
walked downtown for lunch. After all, it was
Thursday and it's my day off from cooking. Plus I
never want to miss a chance of seeing the sunset.
The best inheritance a parent can give his
children is a few minutes of his time each day...
