The burden of family

So, you refuse to honor your mother on Mother's Day. Now you have refused to honor me on Father's day. Respect and honor come at a price. One must dilligently earn the admiration of our friends and family each and every day. Clearly, we have not done enough to earn your respect and love.

No matter that we have stood by you your entire life. Loved you, protected you, guided you, and comforted you in hard times. This is not enough. No, your heart is clearly won by a sacrifice that we could not provide. So, we stand and unworthy and deficient in your eyes.

Take cheer, there will be no repurcussions. We will continue to love and cherish you for the whole of your life. We do this because we know that parents are not fully appreciated and respected until they have finally left this world. This is the foolish and selfish path you and the majority of our misbegotten race has set their feet upon.
