What sacrifices have you made for your parent?

From elementary school I only lived with my mother and father who were suffering from a stroke. After 8 years of illness, at the age of 16, my father died. It was a very sad day in my life. After graduating from elementary school I wanted to continue to my favorite school in my area but unfortunately the school was very far from my house, almost 24 km. My mother forbade me and advised me to choose a school close to home. Finally, with a heavy heart I obeyed my mother's request.
I've always felt like I've always given up on not getting the best, for the sake of my mother and father. Besides that, I have always been an obedient child, who would do whatever my parents ordered, such as helping my mother in the fields, helping my father eat, etc.
Sometimes I feel bored with all this, but I realize that this is an obligation that I should have done to repay all the sacrifices and love from my parents.
Thank you for reading my very long story….

@NurulKh "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both attain old-age in your lifetime, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.” (17:23)
you will understand this verse I guess

You did good job,your parents had noone to rely on. It is responsibility of the kids to repay their parents.
Never feel sad for what you haven't got,you will get whatever you want if you keep working hard for it with a pure heart.good luck

We take care of my 88-89 year old mother, I see to it that she gets everything she needs and wants so long as I can afford it and it's something that's good or not bad for her. My mother is a very strong and intelligent woman for her age.

We need to do this, although we can never repay them for their sacrifices
