Welcome to my meditation world.
I came to US from Japan when I was 26. My mom was crying silently with tears, and talking to me "I wish I could take care of my grand kids. You will find out parental heart when you become a parent."
In that time it is not popular for the international marriage in Japan.
Since I am getting closer to her age, I can understand her parental heart.
I remember she said this also "Parents have a lot of responsibility to take care of their children, but grandparents will be able to receive only fun part from their grand kids."
I am not sure about that since I do not have them yet.
However I can guess that a lot of experience like challenging, repentance, and keep going with hope have been making my heart more understandable and grateful than before.
I can see that it is shinning up and giving me smile with joy and comfort.
=======================================================================
The true freedom that gave us comes with the precondition of responsibility. How much chaos and destruction would occur if people were to insist on and practice the freedom of love only as individuals, without fulfilling their responsibility? The perfection of human beings, who are destined to realize the lofty ideal of love, is possible only when they take responsibility for love.
That responsibility has three components. The first responsibility is to become the master of the freedom of true love, knowing how to cultivate and control oneself and truly grateful to God for granting the freedom to love. This responsibility for a love relationship should not be undertaken merely because of law or social convention. Instead, a person should take responsibility through self-control, self-determination and life in a vertical relationship with God.
The second responsibility is toward one's object partner. By nature, people do not want to share the love of their partner with anyone else. The horizontal relationship between husband and wife is different from vertical relationship between parents ans children. When it is divided, its perfection is destroyed. This is because of the principle of creation, which is based on the absolute oneness of love between couples. People have the responsibility to absolutely love their partner.
The third responsibility is to love one's children. Parental love is the foundation of a child's pride and happiness. Children receive life from their parents, who have created harmonious oneness through true love, and they want to be raised in such love. The most precious responsibility toward children is not only to raise them externally, but also to provide the life elements of true love that will complete their spirituality. This is the reason the family is important. <Rev. Moon>

A healthy family is a core of happiness and world peace.
