I sent my parents $550 every friday so they could “live comfortably.”

 

The notification chimed on my phone every Friday morning at exactly 9:00 a.m., as regular and unforgiving as a heartbeat. Transfer complete: $550.00 to Margaret and Robert Chen. For three years, I watched that money leave my account with a mixture of resignation, guilt, and the deep-seated belief that this was simply what good daughters did.
