I asked mom to wake me up on Sunday morning as I’ve grown accustomed to “snoozing” my alarm. I needed some extra motivation to go out for a jog in the early hours.

I remember sleeping on my stomach and waking up to her hands running through my hair. I turned around and greeted her with a smile and stayed there for a while, soaking it all in. I was only covered by my sheets as I had taken off my boxers at night. When it came to get up, I rolled out of bed and nonchalantly stood in front of her, while rubbing my eyes and asking her if she’d care to join me for the job. While she was distracted for a moment, she politely refused since she had to take care of some chores.

You’re more than welcome to reach out privately for further questions. Cheers.

Mom and I went on a road trip to the lake over the weekend. It has been a staple for family outings since I was a kid. This also felt like a much deserved break and to our surprise, it was just the two of us when we arrived.

I swam around for a while before joining mom at the picnic table for some snacks. I felt at peace and everything seemed perfect. In a moment of sheer spontaneity, I decided to undo my trunks and dive back into the water. I looked over to see mom covering her mouth and trying to hold back her laughter. I knew what I did was unconventional but I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t care to cover myself when I made my out of the water. I noticed how red her face was when she gave me a towel. We ended up seeing some familiar faces when it was time to head back.

I’d say this was one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had since the pandemic began. And I’m glad to have shared it with the person I care for the most.
