[cyborg_siren]

My parents both passed away in a motorcycle accident when I was 12, but I am always happy when people actually cherish their parents when they've been blessed enough to still have them. I obviously can't ask my parents these questions, but seeing you ask them, and seeing your mom's responses is a kind thing to share with all of us. I may not have my own mom's answers, but I'll gladly accept and heed your mom's advice in her place. Thank you.

[vaidehityagi]

"Make love" 😭

[kcsunshine]
