It is a comfortable lie to say you did not realize how precious they were. The truth is much harder to accept. You knew. You saw their efforts, you felt their warmth, and you knew they would do anything for you. But you treated their love like a permanent guarantee. You thought their patience was endless. You did not lose them because you were blind to what they meant to you. You lost them simply because you never imagined a day when they would actually say goodbye.
