When I think of you, the first thought in my mind is different smells. Your 'Anais Anais' perfume, your home cooking, the way your house always smells of furniture polish and freshly brewed coffee. The way your clothes always smell of the same fresh linen scent, and everything about you feels soft. When I think of you I feel comforted, like a snug blanket that is keeping me warm. You make me feel safe and protected, you always have done. You have the most beautiful smile and you light up a room, you have never let me down, ever in my life. I can close my eyes and see flashes in my mind of all the times you have made me laugh, held me close, wiped my tears and told me you love me.1
I close my eyes and see your petite frame, your short chocolate brown hair, and your big doe like hazel eyes. I look at you with envy sometimes on how good you always look, despite being in your more 'mature' years. You take so much pride in your appearance and deserve all the little treats you give yourself; because you are also so selfless and give so much to others. You never complain about anything being too much trouble, and you are always there for me no matter what. Rarely have I seen you angry, rarely have I seen you shout or scream. You don't like to argue, you just want to love. Occasionally you have cried in front of me, and as soon as I see a tear in your eye it creates a lump in my throat; like I want to protect you, I want to make it better for you just like you do for me.
When others have come and gone from my life, you have been there, consistently and always.2
Everyone likes you and I know exactly why. You will go out of your way to make life easier for others. You never ask for anything in return. You always seem to know what I am feeling and will adapt your mood straight away. When I feel sad you comfort me, when I'm happy you laugh with me, when there is a party you are the life and soul. You really know how to live life and you know how to love unconditionally.3I love you Mum.
