I did not feel well last evening, and all I could think was "I want my Mommy". I miss her so much sometimes. I know realistically that if she were still alive, I would not be snuggling up beside her while she rubbed my stomach. I am too old for that now.
I remember her cool touch. She wore Faberge Tigress perfume when I was little. I remember that smell, too. Her chair in our livingroom had big wide arm rests on it - just big enough for a little girl to curl up on so she could snuggle against her Mommy. I had a lot of tummy trouble (nervous stomach, IBS) when I was little. I still suffer occasional bouts. Mom would hold me and rub my tummy until I felt better.

I missed her touch last evening when my stomach acted up. I haven't felt my Mother's touch in 7 years, but I haven't forgotten my Mother's love. There are many quotes about a mother's love. Here are some:
Mother is the bank where we deposit all our hurts and worries.
- unknown
Who ran to help me when I fell,
Or kissed the place to make it well?
....My mother.
- Ann Taylor
Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face
- George Eliot, English novelist
