What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?

Recently I came across a post where someone asked, what is the best thing that has ever happened to you? I started reading the replies given to it. Few of the replies were like "Meeting their soulmate", "Approval of Visa for USA", "Getting into a dream college", "Promoted as VP", "Entering Parenthood" etc.

When I questioned myself the same thing, I was wondering what I've achieved to say. Or say I didn't do anything great or achieved anything that great where I can truly say, "Yes! This was the best". The only thing which truly happened best to me is, I born in this family and I got parents like them.

No parents in this world leaves no stone unturned in upbringing of their child. My parents did the same. Apart from schooling, college and all, they helped me to grow as a better person. They always stood together in my difficult times. Whether it is a failure in school, college or failure in interviews or failure in relationship. They never taught me to discriminate. That's why I still struggle to understand why people fight over religion. 

I can never forget whatever things they did for me. I remember one instance, My 1st ever National karate tournament was there and I had to get up early at 4 coz my train was their. My dad woke me up at 3.50 and said to get ready. As I entered into the kitchen I saw that Mom and dad prepared snacks for me Egg Cutlet, boiled eggs and Tumeric milk. I got to know that they woke up at 3 to prepare all this for me. 

I still remember my dad used to bring eggs for me when I've joined gym. He used to give me milk with raw eggs mixed before going to gym. And after coming home boiled eggs for me. He also used to share jokes with me like a friend (bad jokes too). He was more than a friend. My mom always there by my side. I'm nothing less than a Hero for her. She always used to wake up before me and prepare tiffin for me when I was in Morning shifts. She even used to wait for me to have dinner when I was late shifts.

My parents gave me everything. Supported in all my decisions. Stayed strong besides me. Given much freedom in my life. Taught me to respect every individual. Taught me to help others. Taught me that bad phase never stays for long. Never breakdown believe in yourself, After darkest of night, bright Sun is waiting for you welcoming you.

Theirs a never ending list of what best they did for me. One life is not enough to list down everything. I can proudly say that THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE IS MY PARENTS.
