Something I noticed today ☹️ ⏳

I was FaceTiming with my mom a while ago, and it kinda hit me

As I’ve grown older, moved out and started living my own life
She has grown and aged too.

Time waits for no one, and I knew that but when I was staring at her I got really emotional 🥺 There will be a day when she’s no longer with us… and it’s something I’ll have to learn to deal with 💔

Then she started judging my outfit again and roasting me for being too emotional and she brought me back to reality 😐😂

This is a hard realization..

My dad passed away 11 years ago, and I kinda feared the same for my mom ever since. That fear paralyzed me (not literally) at one point.. i managed to pushed those thoughts out of my mind, but as i get older and feel myself getting older, i cant help but start fearing that scenario again.

And i know what i should be doing is spending more time with her (like any other reasonable person) but instead I maybe visit her once a month..and when i do, i barely talk to her (ive never actually been close to her or trusted her enough to confide in her) . But shes my mom so theres a bond thatll always be there.

Here's for another 100+ healthy years to all our family members 🍻
