My grandma, may she rest in peace, used to say: “We don’t value what we have. We cry when we lose it.” Damn true words, you know. We are so incredibly sure that something or someone will be in our lives for a long time, almost forever, that we allow ourselves to distance from our loved ones. We arrogantly think that we can always make up for lost time. But this is not true.
Further proof is this story from the user u/Teacher0002, which we will tell you today. About how parents were in no hurry to mend things with their adult son – until it was too late… But well, let’s talk about everything in order.
