Let's be good to our parents before it's too late and pray to Allaah that our ownchildren will treat us even better than the way we treated our parents
Allah(SWT) says: "Your lord has decreed that you worship non but him and show kindness to parents. If one or both reach old age with you then do not say uff! To them nor repulse them, but speak graciously to them" {Surah Al-Isra: Ayah23}
O our lord, forgive me and my parents and believers on the day when thereckoning shall come to pass. {Surah Ibrahim: Ayah 41}
O my Lord, have mercy on them (parents) just as they nourished me when I wassmall.{Surah Bani Irail: Ayah 24}
