Teared up thinking about how once you reach a certain age, people don't ask you about your parents anymore, and you are just expected to exist without getting to ask your mother for advice. Or there is a time in the future, my dad would not travel 2 hours to pick me up from my internship just because I caught a cold and my head ached. That I would have to live on in a world without either of them. Or that I would forget the sound of their voice and never get the warmest hug when my life is falling apart. There is a reason my screen time has never been lower than 7 hrs, and I like it that way.
