I got married 4 months back. I work for a software company and I used to live with my parents until I got married .
My in-laws place is just 5 km away from my parents place. And every day I have to pass through my parents place to go to work. I take office bus every morning to go to work and sharp at 9:30 AM , my mom and my dad wait in the balcony to see my bus pass and they wave at me. They just get to see me for less than 20 sec and this makes them very happy and yes , it makes me happy too ! :-)

To all those who are baffled how it can be deduced that anonymous here is an Indian female.
It's an Indian thing. Did you notice how 'she' mentioned that she lived with her parents before marriage and now her in-laws' place is 5 kms away. There is no mention of the husband. Indian weddings are between families not just two individuals. She has obviously moved out of her parents house and is now living with her husband, who still lives with his parents.
It is a beautiful answer that shows many layers of Indian culture and parents' love for their child.

That's really sweet. Parents' love never fails to amaze me.
