It was a relaxing day, and Deannah was sat on the floor with her two daughters; Lisa and Breanna. Deannah's smile was beautiful, and her eyes sparkled like Emerald's on an expensive jewellery piece. On the T.V played the movie 'The sound of music', to the people in the room that did not matter, for it was that they were together that mattered the most. Breanna lay sprawled on the floor with her head resting on her mother's thigh, often closing her eyes at the peace and tranquillity that she felt laying with her mother, she was so happy in this moment.
She looked up at her mother and smiled happily, watching her do her false nails. Breanna could not help but grin when she saw her mother smile back at her, this moment would be etched in her mind forever.
Breanna loved both her mother and her sister; Lisa with all her heart, and took hold of her sister's hand in her own. She loved to hold onto her hand and hug her because to her it was confirmation that this was indeed real and not a dream – so no-one could wake her up from this perfect world.
They lay like that throughout the movie, until Deannah had to sit up on the bed. Breanna smiled and followed her up, wanting to snuggle up to her side again. Not once in her life had she ever felt as safe as she felt with her mother, the feel of the woman's arms around her and the sound of her voice could soothe her fears and make her feel safe before Bree even knew that it was what she needed.
Once Deannah was comfortable on the bed, Breanna was soon beside her curled up to her, listening to her heartbeat and keeping her arms tight around her mother. She faced away from the television so that she would be in a better position to hug her mother, and she watched the movie in the mirror. She smiled hugging her mother, and listening to her calming heart beat.
In this moment, she knew that everything would be okay because she knew she had her mother, and her sister, as well as this memory
