Parents

If you love your parents tell them you love them
Keep in mind they are human
They messup
It's hard to stand still on the pedestal you think they are on
If they scold you they love you
If they at times tell you no
They love you
If they want your life to be easier than theirs
They love you
If you finally realize all this by the age of thirty
They did their job
