My parents is the greatest person I've known second to god. Because every time that I need them my parents always there for me to support me.And also because our family is very close to each other.My parents always give me the right love and comfort that every parents can give to his son.So now that I'm very stable and mature one, it is now my responsibility to give back the love and comfort that they give to me.I want my parents to be happy and experienced a little luxury in there life.And I think it is also our responsibility to give back the love and sacrifices that they give to us.To all of you out there how much you love your parents?

I love my parents very dearly. I would do almost anything for them and I really think more people should take their time to show their parents. I get sick of seeing people mistreat them or use them as cash machines, this is something I would never do and although sometimes they help me I do in return. It's what family is all about, being there and I love them very much.

I love my parents than everything in my life. I study hard because I hope that I can get a better job in the future and I can support my family. I'm not from a rich family, my parents are working hard so that I can further my study. They are doing everything to make our life better. I really glad to have such a great parents and I always remind myself what my parents have sacrifices for me and one day I'm going to repay what my parents have done for me. I want to give them the best I could. Although, I never tell them but I really love them very much.

I admire you. My parents are deceased and I wish I could give them more than I did. My parents were my grandmother and grandfather and I miss them. My mother is still alive and I give her as much love and respect as I can. But everyone was closer when my grandmother was alive.

I love my parents very much as well. Same as you. Unfortunately, they don't feel that I do because I had given them so much pain and suffering in all my 37 years on Earth. I always pray to God that He will give me a chance to undo all the damages I had inflicted on them.

I love them so dearly. Although theyve gone as if they are with us. If we are here in the city as if they are there in our hometown. Cannot describe the feelings we have to both of them. We love them very much.

This is a good question. How much do you love your parents? While I was growing up I can remember the very few times my parents argued with each other but there is one time in particular that I can remember well. They had been arguing for what seemed like hours and my mum was standing by the unit we had in the living room. She had hold of it in a way that you could see she was thinking about pushing it to the ground. "Go on then", Dad shouted "I dare you, go on, push it, you .......". "I'm going to don't worry about that, I'll push it right on top of you and that will be the end of you - I've had enough" Suddenly, I don't know why but a wave of fear went straight through me and all I could think about was not having one of them around. I ran into the middle of them and screamed "please don't get a divorce, I love both of you, too, too much", and I burst into tears. I can remember to this day how much I was crying, one of those big cries that make you sob and you feel like your heart is being torn out of you. That was the day when I first realised what love was and how powerful it was. The first time I knew that I loved my parents more than anything in the world. As you grow though, you learn about all different types of love - love of your pet, love for your siblings, cousins - love for friends, love for your parents and grandparents and of course the love for a partner. Remember your first love, what a wow! that love is. How strong this type of love can be, yet how easily it can change from day to day and suddenly fade into the atmosphere. But the love we feel for family is a different type of love. It is an everlasting love, a love that you feel but never think about unless something were to happen to the person, then you realise how much they actually mean to you. It's a little similiar to the love that we feel for friends, good good friends; the type that lays kind of dormant in our subconcious minds so that it can remain but only be felt when around that friend. For instance maybe we do not see this friend for many years, think of them rarely but as soon as we meet up again the love reappears. Out of all the different types of love we can feel, the majority of us I am sure will know that the strongest of them all is the love we have for our parents. If you have children you will understand the strength of this type of love, even I was quite surprised when I discovered the simialarities between the love I feel for my grandchildren. I love them exactly the same and as much as I love my children. When you hold your grandchild in your arms for the first time it could just as well be your first child. The love is the same. When the baby is growing and developing you can see the love it has for its mother, it shines from the babys face. He gets heartbroken when mum leaves the room and sobs until she comes back. This type of love is all connected. Its just a shame that many of us have to learn about the love with have for our parents whilst we are growing up as especially, teenagers say, often hate their parents. In most cases though it gradually gets to where it should be and remembering how much we love mum and dad and how important they are to us is all part of gaining wisdom. Sadly though English family love does not extend to taking care of our parents when/if they become ill or too old to do it themselves. Therefore I am going to ask the question - Would you take care of your parents if they needed it or would you put them in a nursing home?

I wish I could talk about how grateful I am to my parents but I cannot do that because my upbringing was not good; it was emotionally abusive and my sister and I lacked the love parents usually give their children. It was difficult for us but, speaking for myself. I can say that experiencing such sadness during my childhood years has made a much better mother to my child today. I encourage her, tell her she’s beautiful and give her so much love she knows her dad and I will always be her soft place to fall. My mother has never cuddled me or told she loved, ever and sadly, that is the truth...

They have been used as instruments by the Lord to give us life, the most precious gift received and enjoyed by every human creation that no amount could quantify so how could we also determine the magnitude of how to return this very great favor through love? Perhaps by showing and letting them feel that we do care in every way we can, anywhere and anytime we can.

I love my parents very much.I will take care of them when they grow old. I will not put them in a retirement home. Even if I get married, I will still have time for them and make sure I am always available when they need me. My parents had sacrificed a lot for me and my sibling, and for that alone they deserve our unconditional love. I can sacrifice everything for the sake of my family.

Parents are the most important for me. As we all know that without them, we're not here in this wonderful world! Parents are very hard working to let their children live but we can not blame some parents that they don't take responsibilities for their children and family. BUT even that's the case, they are still our parents and we need to respect them though.

My parents are the best, I love them. They have always been there for me whenever I needed them. I know that always WILL always be. I wish everyone such great parents as mine, the whole pack with the negative aspects of them also, because the good ones cover it up.

I don't know exactly how much. But I love them, that I consider not having my family of my own in the future just to take care of them. Though I fear that no one will take care of me when I get old. I just want to see my parents contented, proud, not going trough rough things, relaxed and lots of good stuffs. I want them to be really really far from my grandmother, the mom of my father, because she's not really nice. And I think, I'll be the "way" for them to be really far from her. I love my parents so much that I want them to feel all these when they get older.
