The car filled with a comfortable silence, and my thoughts went to my mother once more. I remembered all the years that she'd been by my side, never wavering in her strength and her love for me.
I thought about the times she'd comforted me through the dark days, when it felt like the world was against me. I thought about the laughter we'd shared during the good times, when everything seemed so full of joy.
I was thankful for my mother's love and guidance, and I was determined to live a life that would make her proud.
Glancing out the window, I noticed the first few stars twinkling in the night sky. I stared at them for a few moments, captivated by their beauty.
Even though I was far away, I could feel my mother looking down at me from the stars, as if she was sending me a wordless message of hope. I closed my eyes, wishing that I could see her and hug her one last time.
But I knew that I wouldn't be able to.
