Do Parents see the FUTURE???

in #blog4 months ago

Over two decades ago, I had an argument with my dad about a particular decision as regards my future. Of course I might be right but never gave his opinion a thought. You know I just felt "eh pa, you love to impose your choices on everyone, as a young teenager I too can make choices for myself"

Well, few years later he passed and gradually it started getting dawn to me about those decisions he asked me to make. At first I shunned it and ignored the reality that what he said way backing were becoming dawn, but now it heart breaking I never listened or considered his decisions.

Going Tru my archives stumbled on his pictures and I could literally hear his thick voice telling me "oh dear, if you had given my thought a try maybe...."

So the question is do parents see the FUTURE? I mean how could he have known somethings where going to be a reality in two three decades when it doesn't even make sense then?

As much as it's good to understand your child and help them in the path they choose I also think as parents it's helpful to see and guide them into a brighter future.

With my experience I believe parents sometimes take a peep into future.

Hello sister, seeing Dad's picture this evening brought back a whole lot of memory, even till my last sight of him alive. He was a Great man.

As to your question, I feel parents have passed through what ever their children are passing through at a point in time, so when they see their children passing through or taking some decisions, they can relate and track back the decisions they made in their time and evaluate the possible outcome.....
