Yesterday my father called me to sit down next to him. He played a song he said he couldn't get out of his mind on the tv and then begged me to sing along with him.
Mother sat on the sofa beside us, she sang along too.

All loud and creaky.
I didn't sing.
I cried.
They may have wounded me in ways I could never heal from. They may have torn my heart out when I was a child and stepped all over it simply because they were having a bad day.
But they called me to sit next to them as they sang their favourite song to me, and they kept checking on me every time I was sick. They cooked me food even after our biggest arguments.
Sometimes, on days like yesterday, I see who my parents would have been if the world hadn't stamped their spark out as children.
And then I cry.
Because despite everything, I love them more than they would ever understand.
