Meaning
This reads as gratitude expressed through humility, as if love for the parents is being measured against a life story of debt and reward. It can be taken to mean that the speaker sees their good fortune as undeserved and deeply personal. It lands in a family moment, like a thank-you spoken after care, sacrifice, or steady support has been felt for a long time.
