group chat with mom and dad where I can tease them with memes memory of a soft embrace after reading a book together before bed watching dad wrestle with his ego to tell me he is proud in his own way family pictures where mom hates how she looks, and brings it up every time angry at my mom for putting my favorite childhood legos in storage thanksgiving dinner New Year’s Day nursing a hangover while dad annoys me embarrassingly explaining “my parents are just like that” after they drop me off watching my parents grow older and maybe get a little wiser “I love you”
