What’s the sweetest/kindest thing a parent/guardian/authority figure has ever told you?

r/

So I suffer with self esteem issues and I am generally very insecure. I’m also agnostic, which means that I don’t exactly believe in a god but I don’t disbelieve in one either. There’s a possibility but not certain.

Anyways I told my mom, “if heaven does exist, am I going there? I don’t think I am. I think I’m going to go to hell.”

And my mom responded “you literally made heaven.”

I will never forget this. I tear up thinking about it. I don’t think she knows how much those words meant to me. Tell me your wholesome stories.

    When I left home for Uni my parents intentionally called me and left me a voicemail when I was on the plane so when I landed I had a message of them saying “We are so proud of you for taking these first steps to the better life that we couldn’t give you, love you always”. I still have that message.
