Able to Give Love, Able to Receive Love: Cherish It

@91DougSu: Fresh fava beans grown in my hometown vegetable garden, mailed by Mom via express delivery, arrived this evening.
Planning to eat them tomorrow.
Along with them, she also sent various fish, various shrimp, and garlic scapes, garlic bulbs, and even green onions..

I haven't even finished the 10-plus catties of wild fish and shrimp sent before May Day, and a fresh batch has already arrived.

How should I put it,
In the past, whenever I received messages asking "Do you want this?", I would always reply directly, "No need, too much trouble."..
Now, I reply in a second: Yes!

On one hand, it might be my cravings acting up, growing increasingly fond of the hometown's wild fish and shrimp, and the vegetables from the garden;
On the other hand, it might also be that as I get older, I better understand and am more able to accept the care and love from my parents..
When I was young, my rebellious streak was very strong, and I always appeared排斥 and impatient.
Now, when I receive these fresh ingredients, from time to time I can't help but think that being able to still receive care from my parents is actually a very happy thing..

To say something cruel,
Many of my friends, or people I know,
their parents have already passed away..

Sometimes, seeing the popular online posts in recent years complaining about "families of origin," I can't help but think:
The inventor of this term must have popped out of a crack in a rock.

Time flies, and I am nearing 40. My parents are aging rapidly, and I myself am declining and growing old,
Able to give love, able to receive love, cherish it.
