Beautiful piece.

It made me appreciate my loving family, especially my parents who also drove me and my overpacked luggage to the airport when I decided to move to Scotland at 18.

Well-raised question too. Maybe it doesn’t need to be answered, just acknowledged.

Thanks for sharing this story and reflection!

Thank you, Karah. All these loving parents carrying fully packed luggage. We don’t sign up for this when having children, do we?
