You’d had a rough day at school and couldn’t wait to be home with your mother. She was always amazing at comforting you and that was exactly what you needed at the moment. You opened the front door and saw that your mom was waiting for you, to get home from school. As expected, when she saw you, in floods of tears, she was immediately worried. She looked up and rushed from the kitchen over to you.

“Hey, shh.. shh it’s okay, what happened, sweetheart?” she said as she pulled you into a tight hug. Her hand was resting on the back of your head, gently stroking your hair.
