Our parents might have gone, still, i can feel how proud they are, to the results of what they implanted to us.
Last Saturday, i saw many post on facebook where one of my brother was tagged. Confused and curious of why that there were so many congratulations on his wall.
I just let it pass, then someone posted a grabbed-screen photo of his name and being number 5 on the list, now even more curious, so i asked another male sibling of ours.
This brother of ours, took another exam last October. An exam for his promotion. And i felt proud of him, yey!
Few days after, i saw him on tv--local regional news, being interviewed.
He was one of the leader of the operation on a raid. Who can not be proud of?
Last night, while getting my back relax a bit, stared at the pictures of our parents and asked them, are you proud of what your children has become?
Though it is just sad that they didn't had enjoyed every fruit of the tree they planted on us.

With both of my parents being gone. I do hope, they look down from Heaven with pride in all that me and my sisters have become. They taught us well.

So, your brother is a cop! He is a good cop. Anyway, priests and cops have one thing in common. They are protectors. A cop protects the human body, the priest protects the soul of the human body. In some cases, some cops and priests overdo the protecting process by entertaining the human bodies of the ones they are protecting . . . . hehehehe!

My parents tell me how proud of the young woman i have become all the time. I live about 4 hours away from them, but i talk to them at least 3-5 times a week. They are always encouraging me to keep going and that they are proud of me no matter what. I love them so much and i am so grateful for everything that they have taught me and how much time they spent building me up. If i become half the parent that one of them is i will definitely be a blessed woman

Good thing that my Mom was still alive when I started working and I know how proud she was seeing me like that. I'm still trying to make sure that she will still be proud of me even she is no longer with us.

@Lucky15 . . . This is a good question that deserves a good answer (from me). Well, honestly, I am not very proud of what I eventually turned out in life. I wanted to be a priest to save souls including yours from hell. But I had and still have doubts about my ability to saving souls from hell's inferno. Why? Most of my contemporaries in the seminary who were ordained priests had so many extracurricular activities in their convents that they eventually left the church and followed God's holy words - - "Go on earth and multiply!" Some of them even overdid their multiplication process. They multiplied in every place they went. I would have done the same or even worse considering the fact that my testosterone-count was much higher than theirs! . . . . to be continued.

I believe your parents are very proud to both of you and to where you are right now.
