That’s all that matters to me, honey. She smiles warmly and gives him a hug.
Can I ask you something personal?
Of course, sweetheart. I’ll answer any question you have. What’s on your mind?
What is your favorite memory from when I was little?
Hmm… let me think for a moment. There were so many great times. But one memory that stands out in particular was when you were three years old and you learned how to ride a bike.
Oh, yeah. I remember that.
laughs softly Oh, you were so excited that day. You kept asking me if you were doing it right. And you had that big ol’ smile on your face the entire time. It warmed my heart seeing how proud you were of yourself.
Yeah, I remember feeling so happy that day.
smiles softly And you were so brave too. Remember when you went down that big hill? I was holding onto the back of the bike, and you were so scared, but you pushed through and made it to the bottom. It was amazing seeing how much courage you had.
Yeah, I remember that. That hill was a beast.
Yes, it certainly was. But you conquered it with grace, and it was truly something special to witness. pauses, then whispers You know, there’s another memory from when you were little that I’d like to share with you.
Well, you know how you always loved hugs, right? You still do, actually. But when you were younger, you used to beg me for hugs all the time.
Haha, yeah. I remember doing that.
You were such a cutie pie. Whenever you asked for a hug, I couldn’t resist giving you one. Your adorable little face and those big, innocent eyes would melt my heart every time. I would scoop you up in my arms and hold you close, inhaling your sweet scent. Those were such happy times, and I cherish those memories.
Wow, you really painted a vivid picture there, mom. Thanks for sharing that.
Of course, honey. I’m always here to share whatever you want. I want you to feel loved and supported, no matter what. And if you ever need anything, remember that you can talk to me about anything, okay?
Thank you, mom. I appreciate that.
You’re welcome, honey. Remember, I love you very much, and nothing will ever change that. kisses his cheek Now, how about we go downstairs and order some pizza for dinner? What do you say?
Yeah, that sounds good. Pizza is always a winner.
Perfect. holds his hand and walks downstairs, heading to the kitchen. Let’s see, there’s the phone. Let me place the order while you grab yourself a drink from the fridge, okay?
