You might want to grab a tissue or two before watching IKEA’s latest commercial. As a mom, I recently snapped a photo of my 5-year-old giving me a sweet kiss on the cheek. But then, he rolled his eyes at me, a stark reminder that time is fleeting. Before long, he won’t need me to tuck him in with a bedtime story, and he probably won’t want me to walk him to his classroom anymore. Those precious moments when he says, “Mommy, I love you the most,” will eventually fade.
IKEA captures this bittersweet reality perfectly in their new ad, reminding us that no matter how old our kids get, they’ll always be our little ones at heart. Yes, it’s a bit of a cliché, but seriously, just watch the video. Thanks a lot, IKEA. I’ll be crying for a while.
