Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well; she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day, the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep. Your mother lives inside your laughter, she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's your first love, your first friend and nothing on earth can separate you.
