THE LOVED SHOWN BY AFRICAN PARENTS WITHOUT SAYING IT

Have you noticed unlike other continents, most Africa parents expresses their love differently and they are not the type that tells their kids directly "I Love You". They show it daily by the various sacrices they make for to make us happy. As an African, my parents have not used the word "I love you" before neither have they told me that but I can certain they do love me, sometimes as a kid we might think they hate us due to the kind of punishment we receive when we offend then or go again the rules and most people can talk about the flogging but that doesn't mean they loved us less. They believe every wrong doing must be corrected because they are consequences.

While I was in school, my mum especially did a lot of things for me which proves she loved me but she doesn't say it, at a point she had to sell some of her attires to raise money so I can handle expenses in school and many things parents do that they don't talk. I understand most the parents grew up in the village and doesn't have the same orientation we have now but it is quite understandable.

I will telling every Africa child who think their parents don't love them because they don't say those words, take a minute and reflect back the various sacrifice they did for you. Only a parent who loves you will do that. Appreciate your parents for everything they have done for you.
