Love Letter To A Mother

My mother is the person I love the most in the world. And this sentence, although it is a sentiment more than confessed, is not easy to pronounce, especially since relationships with mothers are usually immersed in thousands of complicated situations, and mine is no exception; But even so, and with my heart in my hand, I say it: Mom, I love you, I love you like no one else in the world.

Few aromas evoke as many sensations in me as your perfume, Mom. You may not know it, but there is no sweeter, fresher smell to me than yours. It does not matter that you have just got out of the shower and you have not put any perfumed product on you.

It’s not about the perfume, although the ones you choose, I must say, are always pleasant to me; but I am talking about another type of sensations that cannot even evoke the most exclusive perfume in the world, it is your mother scent, because there is no other aroma in the world that makes me feel as safe as yours.

It has been centuries since I stopped sleeping with you, even years ago since we live in different houses, however from time to time I try to talk with you in the privacy of your bedroom, where you still allow me to lie down for a while, like when I was a child.

I remember that during my childhood, when you would go out to work and I would stay at home missing you, I would lie on your bed and put my head on your pillow so that I could smell the perfume that was impregnated on the cover. That alone was enough for me to fall asleep and stop missing you, that alone was enough for me to feel close to you where I am always safe.

Being close to you is a luxury, mother

Now, as our life circumstances have changed, sleeping in your bed is a luxury that life gives me on very few occasions, however when I visit you or you visit me, I try to hug you as hard as I can to be able to feel your aroma and your comforting warmth of mother.

Other times, I allow myself to lie down next to you for a few minutes and sometimes that is enough to make me feel better. No matter how downcast, shaken, disappointed, tired, or upset I am, lying quietly next to you for at least five minutes brings my energy back in an almost magical way.

Sometimes it is not necessary for me to speak or for you to speak to express our love, and to be honest, our best words of love have not been spoken by our lips, our best words of love have been expressed by acts.

And it is in the face of acts that sometimes I fall short, mother. When I remember everything you have done for me, I marvel a thousand times. There is nothing that you have missed, there is not a single day in which you have not made an effort to make me happy and the greatest thing is that I still see that despite the fact that you gave me everything, that I am what I am thanks to your help. and your efforts will never tire of giving, of professing your love for me in every act.

Thanks to you I am who I am

Our history has been a carousel of emotions, it has gone through many ups and downs, and sometimes it still seems that we lack many emotions to go through, although of course the years have made the changes less abrupt now.

At this point we both know that we are two strong and determined women who sometimes tend to have different ideas about the same point, but no matter how dissimilar our concepts are about a situation, person or thing, there is nothing or nobody in the world who can fracture our love, although sometimes the differences of our points of view make us argue with force.

There is nothing that can break my love for you, nothing and no one, not even ourselves ; On the contrary, every day I realize the enormous sacrifices you made to make me the woman I am, to celebrate every birthday, to take care of every fever, to wash every dress, to iron every shirt.

Every day that passes, my mother, I love you more, because now that I have become a mother is when I understand the dimension of your love, now more than ever I value each of your actions and each of your words, because although we are very different, I know that each act of yours is inspired by what you feel for me and your inspiration is the purest in this world, your inspiration is the love of a mother.

I love you mom and thank you all, thank you so much.
