Practical Love

When you catch a super-sized cold while standing under the bus air-conditionated in your way to Granada…

& then

your mother cooks the hot soup you really love every night,

& makes sure there is an orange-juice glass (Vitamin C) every morning when you wake up

& prepares your favourite blanket in your sofa,

& gives you the medicine you need

& stays next to you as you have a runny nose and cough and make all sorts of highly unattractive noises.

I guess everybody has their own definition of love…

But I think you would be hard pressed to find a fantasy mother where the daughter felt more loved and cared for than I have done during these last days.

Thanks mom for not thinking I am totally gross.
