Summary: [Just a BIT late...ehehe...It's a 400 word one-shot thingy.] Its mother's day and Sakura's trying to remember her as she looks at her own children years later.

So caring...

So beautiful...

Those are the descriptions that come to my head when I think of my mother. I don't remember much but I do have fragments of my memory with her—not complete ones just fragments. Fragments that have pieces missing yet I find comfort in that I can remember.

I remember once my mother lifted me up and swung me a bit making me giggle as the gentle summer breeze blowing all round the sakura tree and I. I remember that better than the rest. Mother looked so happy and I felt so too.

Another fragment, I was two years old. I remember running and tripping and crying. Onii-chan, Mother and I were at a park—not Penguin Park we didn't move to Tomoeda until I was 6 and Onii-chan was 13.

Anyway, Mother was watching us play. I was chasing Onii-chan I think. That part is a bit hazy but I was chasing someone and I fell...I remember bruising my knee and crying so much, but mother was there, always there. Mother made it better. I remember what she told me. She said she'd always be there when I felt sad or alone. She told me that right after she comforted me and made my knee better. I don't remember how she made me feel better, but maybe what she told me was it.

Well she was right. Whenever I was sad, I never really felt alone. It is really strange but I always feel a presence with me. A soothing, calm, warm one. One that loves and protects me. I know that is my dear Mother even if I could not and cannot see her like Onii-chan did, I know she's there.

She's always there and always will be. Whether spiritually or physically, Mother will never disappear from my heart. As long as she's in my heart I know I am loved by her, like every mother that loves their children...like how I love mine.

A/N- PLEASE no flames! I know its short and bad but PLEASE no flames! Thank you!
