~ tribute to my mother, my role model in so many ways during my most impressionable years ~
I remember how mom treasured every moment she somehow stretched time never seeming to be rushed or flustered always keeping busy with something in the works a mind that never ceased the wheels turning and churning her life a tribute to the joy that could be found in every instant I remember vividly the scent of freedom that first morning after highschool was out and summer vacation began it was then I had a peek at mom’s morning routine after the young ones left on the school bus there I was I’d watch somewhat of an intruder on mom’s personal time she would open all doors and windows to let the country air into the house it was magnificent and intoxicating ~ that smell of sudden freedom AP: 1st place 2026, 1st place 2025, Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on July 6, 2019 for contest CHILDHOOD MEMORIES sponsored by CHANTELLE ANNE COOKE - RANKED 3RD
