Understand just as I understood

When I was in my teenage years, I used to questions my parents, especially my father. I cannot see eye to eye with him, even to the smallest of things. I resent whatever he was trying to do and whatever he was trying to say. Here he was wanting to make me a better person but I never want to listen to him cause I thought I know better. Yes, I know better than him. He is just an old man so out of date. 
But as I get older and have children of my own, I began to see the light. It is he, together with my mother, who cared for me when I was small, provided me with shelter, gave me an education and most of all, gave me all their love and care. They may have their failings, as all humans do, but they never fail to give me their love and their care. I would not have made it this far without them. I can never repay them for all the things that they have done for me. All I can do is to carry on with their legacy and do the best I can for my children. I have my failings too but I hope they understand just as I understood.
