When my daughter left, it made me realize how hard it was for my parents when I left. It was even harder than it is for parents now, because there were no smartphones, no video calls, etc. But sometimes I just feel sad about how they missed me at the time and how much I miss them now. I wish I could tell them I understand.
My mother told me many times that I'm her little baby no matter how old I am. It sounded cheesy when I was a teenager, but now I understand a bit of what she said to me. I also wish I can tell her how much I miss her.
Unfortunately they are not. That's why I keep thinking, I wish I could tell them I know now what's it like. For many things, my mom used to say I will only understand once I have my child and all the same things happen, and it's really true - this is one of those things. It gets so hard even though it's easier than it was for my parents. They tried to hide it but I understood even then partially, and now completely.
