Respecting aged Parents

What are some ways to show respect to your aging parents? A son took his elderly father to a nice restaurant for dinner. While eating, the old father spilled food on his clothes several times. Other people eating in the restaurant were looking at the old man with hatered, but his son was calm. After eating, the son took the old man to the washroom without any shame. Cleaned his clothes, cleaned his face, combed his hair, put on glasses, and then brought him outside. Everyone was looking at him silently. Then he paid the bill and went out with the old man. Then another old man who was having dinner called out to him and asked - Don't you think that you are leaving something behind here? He replied – No sir, I am not leaving anything. The old man said - Son, you are leaving here a lesson, a lesson for every son and hope for every father. Generally we do not like to take our elderly parents out with us. And they say - What will you do, you can't walk, you can't even eat properly, it would be better if you stay at home. But have you forgotten that when you were little, your parents used to carry you in their lap. When you were not able to eat properly, your mother would feed you with her own hands, and if the food spilled, she would show love rather than scolding. Then why do the same parents start becoming a burden in their old age? Parents are the form of God. Serve them and love them because one day you too will grow old. #Always respect your parents.
