1. They Call You More Often—Even for Little Things
“Did you eat yet?” “How’s the weather over there?” These simple questions aren’t about food or the weather at all. They’re about connection. Every call is a thread tying you back to them, a way to hear your voice and reassure themselves that you’re okay. When those calls come, try not to rush through them—they are their way of saying, I miss you.
2. They Repeat Old Stories Again and Again
Maybe you’ve heard the tale of their first job or the story of how they met a hundred times. You might think they’re becoming forgetful, but often, it’s their way of holding on to your attention. They want you to remember the family’s history, to carry their memories forward when they no longer can. Each retelling is a gift—an attempt to pass the torch before it’s too late.
3. They Ask for Your Help With Small Tasks
It could be changing a lightbulb, fixing an old radio, or accompanying them to the market. They may still be capable of doing these things themselves, but asking you is their excuse to see you, to spend a few more minutes in your company. In these moments, the task itself doesn’t matter—what matters is your presence.
