Dedicated to ''Deannah'' cause I miss her tons and tons! I can't wait to hug you again Ima 3

Breanna curled up in her mother's embrace, and closed her eyes the feel of the woman's arms around her, protecting her from the harsh and often evil world outside the safety of the front door. She snuggled into her mother and listened to the soothing sound of her mother's heartbeat.

The television flickered in the background, being ignored, as Breanna listened to the sound within her mother's chest, and revelled in the warmth and safety of her mother's arms.

A dark world awaited her outside, and she knew that in less than an hours time she would have to leave the warmth of her mother's embrace and the safety of the home, and go on her way to catch a plane that she wanted to run in the opposite direction of. She closed her eyes tighter and prayed to G-d that s/he would allow her to stay right here.

Her mother; Deannah held her tightly against her, and pressed a gentle kiss to her head, she also knew that they would have to leave for the airport soon.

Breanna was very reluctant to let go of her mother, and had clung for days in the hope that maybe if she did not let go, then she would not have to leave, after all a mother's grip is tighter than any other. She knew her mother would protect her.

"I love you" she whispered as she curled up tighter to her mother and listened to her calming heartbeat.

Deannah smiled down at her daughter, and whispered back, "I love you too", her hand ran through her hair, as time ticked by a lot faster than anyone wanted it to.

Breanna held on tighter, "I miss you already" she said sadly, trying to hang on tighter to her mother

Her beautiful mother held her tight against her, "I miss you too" she whispered softly

Breanna never ever wanted to let go, but she knew she had to…. The idea of letting go made her want to hide and not come out until she could stay forever.
