For The Quiet Kind Of Care

Mom, some of the memories that stay with me most are the quiet ones, when nothing dramatic was happening and I could still feel how cared for I was just being at home with you.

I do not think I understood that as a kid. I just rested inside it. Now I see how much love it takes to make ordinary life feel peaceful like that. You gave me a kind of comfort I still know how to recognize because of you.

I hope today feels steady and gentle as you keep getting your rhythm back. I love you, Mom.
