nostalgiaEvery Little Thing
Because you were there for me, I am who I am today.
That feeling of gratitude is woven into the song “nostalgia.” A mother is someone who, when you’re going through something hard, looks even more pained than you do, and who greets you with a smile even when she’s a little tired.
The warm home, the meals, and the kind words that were always there—these existed simply because you were loved.
It may feel a bit embarrassing, but once you’ve grown up and gone out into the world, be sure to express your thanks and wholeheartedly repay your parents’ kindness.
