As we held hands, I turned to take a look at my mother, but strangely saw myself. I had a sway with every step and my hair is fizzy with new hair growth. I can sense a calmness that I wasn’t aware I could have. My talkative nature was suspended as we slowly walk to our cars. I couldn’t help, but smile that I was okay and safe with my mom. I knew the exact thoughts that flooded my head, which felt pretty weird to know what the other person is thinking because its you.

And from one moment to the next, I was saying goodbye with a hug and again I belonged to my body. But now I stayed there standing to really grasp my mother walking away to her car. I wish I could know how she was feeling now.
