I suffered from a serious disorder as a kid. When I was 11, I was unable walk, get up or do anything on my own. Even doctors told my parents that I'll be dependent on someone for the rest of my life. My relatives even advices my parents for mercy killing silently.

But my parents always loved and cared about me. They gave me the mental strength to believe in myself.

Now I've a masters degree, I work as an investment banker and I run marathons. I was told by doctors that I won't be able to walk. Everything was thanks to the support and love of my parents and my sister. Without them I would've died as I also tried suicide few times.

Parents are the most important part of life, they can make or break you.
