My mum & her rocking chair
Memories of my mum sitting on her rocking chair is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. For me, these memories bring me a sense of warmth, comfort, love and joy. As I close my eyes and reminisce, I can still feel and see my mum’s presence, exactly like it was all those years ago.
My mum had this rocking chair she used to love. She loved to sit in the chair while rocking back and forth while humming a melody or smiling to herself and gazing out the window. This was my favourite times to spend with my mum, listening to her stories or watching her just being content. Sometimes I’d even bring her a little snack that she could enjoy while sitting in her chair.
One of my favourite memories was when I was a teenager, I would come home after school and my mum would always be in her rocking chair with a cup of tea. She would always be there, waiting for me. I’d rush to her side, and sit down beside her so she could pull me in for a hug before I’d tell her all about my day. We would chat about everything and anything, whether it was exciting news or a small problem I had, she listened with the same sincere kindness.
Sometimes when I had a difficult day, the rocking chair would be my place of solace and peace. I’d curl up next to my mum and she would have this way of always making me feel better with words of wisdom or a gentle song or two. I don’t think I’ll ever find the same comfort in this world that I felt sitting by her side in her rocking chair.
It has been a few years since I last heard my mum humming in her chair, but I can still feel her presence when I sit in it. When I’m feeling low, I think of these happy memories and it’s such a beautiful reminder of the unconditional love she gave me while sitting in her rocking chair. Memories of my mum sitting on her rocking chair will always remain in my heart.
