Your parents’ sacrifices don’t show up in your feed. They show up in their shoes being older than yours.

Sacrifice is usually invisible because it takes the form of something not happening. The trip not taken, the coat not replaced, the thing they wanted quietly moved down the list again. None of that gets mentioned, and it is not meant to be noticed, which is exactly why it goes unacknowledged for years.

Start reading the negative space. What have they gone without lately, and for how long. You are not responsible for their choices and nobody is asking you to feel guilty. But saying that you see it, once, out loud, is worth a great deal to someone who assumed nobody ever would.
