I have always been proud and thankful for my parents, even though I rarely mention it.
I am thankful that my parents are supportive of me caring for the strays. In fact, they are the ones who go feed the strays in my estate (they practice responsible feeding) and inform me if any of the strays look or injured. On top of that, my parents pay for almost all of the bills that the strays incur during visits to the vet.
On rare chances, I will bring home the injured strays and nurse them (though this may prove to be a challenge now as there are way too many furries residing in my house right now). Even though my parents do not really fancy that idea, they still bore with me and the incessant noise the strays make.
Never once did they blame me for giving them so much 'value-added' problems or tell me to 'leave the strays alone/abandon them'. Neither did they scold me for spending so much time at the vets or petrol transporting the strays.
When I showed them pictures of abused animals or incidents where strays were involved in accidents, they will sympathise with the strays and give comments like "How can one be so cruel?". At times, they will even donate money for medical fundings even though my parents may be worrying about the increasing household expenses.
These are my parents; kind and compassionate with a big heart for the less advantage to both humans or animals. I am happy to inherit such good traits and learn such good acts of kindness from them. This is definately something I expect my partner to possess, and my kids to inherit.
