One night, as Chris Grady tried everything he could to get his newborn daughter to fall asleep, he realized someone else had done the same thing for him years ago: his parents.
The illustrator behind Lunarbaboon expressed his appreciation in a comic titled "Shh."
Grady explained that the idea for the comic came to him at "some ungodly hour" as he bounced and cooed with his 3-week-old daughter in an attempt to get her to fall asleep.
"She would have no memory of it, but she would probably think of it when/if she had kids," he said in an email to The Huffington Post. "Then suddenly I had a vision of my own parents doing the same thing for me, and I realized I had never thanked them."
Grady added that parents should be thanked for the things we can't remember as well as the things they do as the years go by.
"Parents are never thanked enough for all the things they did that we will never remember. They keep us alive, help us grow and then send us off and usually we set off running without ever looking back. I guess I should say it now that I have the chance. Thanks, Mom and Dad."
