Sacrifice

What does it take for a person to sacrifice? Does she really need to sacrifice? Is it worth it? I was touched by the story of a young lady that took over the role of a mother when her mum left home when she was 14 years old leaving behind 4 other siblings. She sacrifice her teenage years and drop out of school to take care of her siblings. After 7 years, not only her siblings are straight A students, they are very good kids too. How on earth she can find her strength to take on the role as a mother to her 4 siblings.

Just imagine waking up early in the morning to make breakfast, do laundry, house chores, prepare dinner etc. How can she manage as a teenager and where she got the inspiration and know what to do? She sacrificed her life for her siblings....

I am sure there are other great stories like that and great individuals which sacrificed their lives. But without going further, have we thought of persons close to us that have sacrifice for us. Without them, basically one's life might be incomplete or they were turning points in one's life.

In my opinions, we should be at least thankful for following persons that have scarifies for us (or at least be thankful for):

1. Parents - that raise us to become who we are today
2. Siblings - that allow us to share the good or bad moments together
3. Friends - that always be there regardless good or bad times
4. Teachers - that impart knowledge and guide us during early days of our lives
5. Others - I am sure there are other individuals that have touched our soul and lives that scarifies so much of their own lives for us. This could be someone that cares, loves and made scarifies...

Bottom line, appreciate and be thankful to the persons that sacrifice for us......
