According to the current results of the
poll, this is the list I wrote up for Mum. Mind you, ten is such a small number!
- Her strength.
- Her gentleness.
- Her voice - when laughing or crying, when soothing or chiding.
- The smell of her hair.
- The look in her eyes when something touches her heart.
- The touch of her hands when things are hard.
- The way our wills butt now and again.
- The way she looks when she's facing something dangerous by the side of Coz.
- The air of neatness and order and rightness that she gives off, even if she's frightened or dishevelled or angry and shouting or things are going down to hell.
- Her rebelliousness.
And, bonus? The mongoose.
