💫 Just to Have Them Around… That’s the Flex

by #LearnedMan | Smiles Are Contagious

There’s something powerful—almost sacred—about having your mom or dad around to celebrate your wins. Whether big or small, just knowing they’re there, watching, cheering, praying, coaching… that’s a major flex.

In a world where so many people speak of a mother or father in past tense, or haven’t picked up the phone in a while, or quietly watch another year go by without that voice singing “Happy Birthday” or showing up to your celebration—having them here is a blessing that deserves pause.

That parent in your corner—that’s your home team. The cheerleader when no one else claps. The coach when you’re out of plays. The motivator when life gets real.

I talk to so many people who miss that voice. That hand. That presence. I hear the longing when they say “If my mom were here…” or “My dad would’ve loved this…I’m that someone too so I understand.

”So if you still have them around—celebrate that moment.

📞 Call your mom today.

📞 Call your dad today.

And just say:

“Thanks, Mom.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

“Thanks for being in my corner.”

Because love like that—support like that—is rare and deserves to be honored.

RIP mom and dad!
