in that instant

The two people who I am crazily in love with are my parents. Yes, it's a bit odd, but I always feel better when I am around them.

Picked them up from the airport in the middle of the day. Even though I had to rush back to work, it was an instant mood booster.

Every time I see them after a long absence, I feel like a happy little kid, except I am 31 now, so a happy 31-year-old. The unconditional love and attention feel marvelous, and I am so grateful that they are in my life.

I just hope I can duplicate this love affair with my own kids. I have had the unconditional acceptance my whole life, and it's the biggest ingredient of what makes me me.
