When your mom grows older and starts telling you the same story over and over again... just listen. Don't rush her, don't cut her off. Because maybe those words aren't just stories. Maybe that's her heart remembering, her soul processing, her way of healing the wounds she once carried alone. Sometimes, repeating the past is her way of finding peace in the present. So listen with patience, with love, and with gratitude. Because one day, you'll miss hearing her voice tell those stories, even for the hundredth time.
