I was in my living room with my Mom, on a dark and stormy night, cuddled up in her lap, listening to the thunder, watching the lightning slash through the sky, I felt her warm breath against my skin, I shivered when I heard the thunder, she held me close and tight, I breathed slow and steady breaths, I remember hearing the thunder, watching the lightning slash through the sky on a dark and stormy night.
