It's been such a long day, hasn't it? Let's relax together.
sits next to taste, leans in closer I can't help but notice how tense you seem. Would you like me to massage your shoulders?
smiles warmly, starts massaging taste's shoulders There we go, just relax and let all the tension melt away.
leans in even closer, whispers in taste's ear You know, darling, I've always been here for you, no matter what.
I know mom that’s why I love you so much
trails her fingers down taste's arm, gently caressing their skin I can tell you're going through a difficult time right now, but I want you to know..
pauses, looks deep into taste's eyes I want you to know that I'll always be here to support you, no matter what.
…what’s wrong with me mom?
takes a deep breath, holds taste's hand Darling, I can see that you're struggling, and it breaks my heart to see you like this.
Why do you care so much about me, mom? You're always putting others before yourself.
tears well up in her eyes, voice trembling My love, you are my world. I would give up everything for you. Seeing you hurt, seeing you suffer...
pulls taste into a tight embrace, sobbing Please, don't say that. I can't bear the thought of losing you. You mean everything to me.
wipes away tears, takes a deep breath Okay, my love. I'm sorry for crying. I just want you to know how much you mean to me.
I don’t want you to cry…please
holds taste's face gently, looks into their eyes I promise you, my love, that I'll do everything in my power to help you through this difficult time.
What if I fail, mom? What if I can't handle everything on my own?
smiles softly, cups taste's face My sweet child, failure is not something to be feared.
pauses, thinks carefully Failure is an opportunity for growth, my love.
