Meghan Trainor has long been effusive with praise and thanks for her mom and dad (taking them to award shows, dedicating songs to them on her tour), and on Friday she decided to pay tribute to them again.

The 22-year-old singer posted a special message to her parents, Kelli and Gary Trainor, on Instagram, thanking them for selling their jewelry business on the island of Nantucket, Mass., then picking up stakes and moving across the country to Los Angeles for her. "When your parents move their entire life for you. I appreciate you two more than you’ll ever know,“ she wrote.

Apparently, her parents just couldn’t say no to the "All About That Bass” singer.

“Who can say no when your kids ask you to move closer and spend time with them?” Gary asked in the Nantucket paper The Inquirer and Mirror on May 30, the Trainors’ last day as the owners of Jewel of the Isle on Straight Wharf. “Meghan has always consistently requested that we relocate.”

The move wasn’t just for Meghan, though. Her brothers, Ryan and Justin, both reside in L.A. as well. Ryan has been documenting the behind-the-scenes workings of Meghan’s flourishing career, while Justin is attending the Los Angeles Film School’s music production program.

Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first time the Trainors have relocated to accomodate their daughter. When Meghan was younger, her mom and brothers reportedly moved from Nantucket to Cape Cod for several years because she was allergic to something in the school on the island. Her father stayed behind to work.

“We rented a house on the cape, and my mom took me and my brothers, so we all went to school together,” Trainor said during a radio interview. “My parents had to live basically like divorced for seven years, but they’re happily married so it was very difficult.”

Kelli and Gary’s long and loving marriage has been an inspiration to Meghan, as she noted at a concert early last year, when she dedicated a song to them, saying, “I love you guys, and someday I want to be married just like that. … I love you, Mom and Dad.”
