Daniel POV
It was a morning like every day, but today was special since it is Mother's Day and I really liked celebrating it with her because it is her big day, I love her madly, because she gave me everything, she gave me the life, he gave me affection and he cared a lot when I got sick as a child I remember it as if it were yesterday.
Flashback
I was 8 years old when one day I was playing with the snow, I was alone because my father had gone to work and my mother went shopping, that same day I wanted to be alone at home since there was no school, due to the storm of snow that I was doing, although my mother told me to accompany her to help her, but I answered that no, that I would stay here and she told me not to go out because I could get sick, but I ignored her, when she left I left the house, I went to the backside to play, then it began to snow as I did not have a sweater, it gave me a lot of cold I could not move, with all the snow that I had on me and suddenly I felt dizzy, then everything was turned me black.
I still don't remember how long I was unconscious until I heard some crying so I opened my eyes and what I saw broke my heart, I saw my mother crying for me, so I said.
"Mommy"
"Daniel, thank God that waking you up had me very worried," my mother answered, very anguished and she would not stop crying.
"Mom, what happened to me?" I asked. I didn't remember what happened to me after I played in the rear game.
"Well, when I got home I started calling you to help me and you didn't answer, so I went to look for you in the room and you were not there, so I was worried until I went to look for you outside when I saw you unconscious and covered. of snow I started crying, because I thought you had died, so I called your father and told him to come and see you, you had a lot of fever and you have been about to die and you have been unconscious for about 3 days, I took care of you, when you were very bad with all the fever I could not leave you alone, I could not sleep because you saw you so helpless and sick you scared me a lot, do not do it again Daniel please"my mother finished saying and I had not realized that I was crying the same as She never imagined that she would suffer because of me and that she almost lost me because of my stupidity, right there I made myself promise that I would not do things that would harm my mother.
"No mom, I will not do it again, I promise you, but please forgive me, Mom, I did not want you to suffer for me, if I had listened to you, you would not be suffering right now" I said between tears I still couldn't believe what I did.
"No, Daniel, forgive me, it was my fault for leaving you alone and not convincing you to go shopping with me or for me to stay. I was a very bad mother to you,"she answered crying louder, it broke my heart to hear her speak like that.
"You're not mom, you're the best mom in the world, don't talk like that because you make me feel bad hearing you talk like that and my dad doesn't like you talking about you either, he could also be sad if he heard you so don't say that You are a bad mother you are the best, it was also my fault when I wanted to be alone, don't blame yourself and I promise that next time I will listen to you ”I commented and I saw her, she was crying but when I saw her beautiful brown eyes and her smile I was sure that he cried with joy, suddenly he started hugging me and I answered him of course and he said.
"I love you very much son, thank you for everything you are the best son I could have" he said happily and listening to her like this gave me more joy.
"No thanks to you for giving me life and for loving me and taking care of me so much mom, you are the best I love you very much" I said hugging her very tightly and my mother returned the hug giving me kisses on my forehead making me laugh and feeling well protected in her arms.
End FlashBack
I was immersed in my memories that I did not see what time it was 2:00 in the afternoon and I got up immediately thinking that I had to buy the gift for her, but I still did not know what to give her, and it was very little until she arrived from the orphanage, so I got in my yellow Ford and headed to the mall.
I was visiting many stores until I found the perfect gift in a showcase ...
Lucille POV
Being in the orphanage was one of my favorite hobbies taking care of children who had no one in the world, my Daniel was already a man even though I still saw him as a baby.
I had in my arms one of the babies who arrived just a few days ago and her mothers abandoned them, I cannot believe how a mother can do that with her children, it is something unheard of for me.
The baby I'm carrying reminded me a lot of my baby Daniel, they had the same color of his eyes, I remember perfectly when he looked at me before going to sleep and said "I love you mom", or when those little eyes fell a few tears for that he had scraped his knee in some fall, now he is a man, but even so I have not stopped loving him like the first time I saw him, that he came out of my belly.
Being a mother is the best thing that can happen to a woman, it is the greatest blessing in the world, since she is a little piece of you...
In the meantime I was late, surely my son should already be home waiting for me with Anthony, so I put the baby back in the crib and said goodbye to everyone so I could go home.
When I arrived I found the whole house dark, apparently there was no one there yet… surely Daniel would have forgotten that it is Mother's Day, and I will not deny it if I felt bad.
As there was no one, I went to the kitchen but there was a letter in the middle of the table, so I took it and began to read it.
MOMMY:
I know we are totally different people
But even so, if they mistreat me, you defend me.
At night when i was sick.
You sheltered me and kept awake wishing my recovery.
I know that sometimes I behaved very rude,
But please understand that it was only my adolescence at that time.
There are times that we don't understand each other.
But you have to understand that we are not from the same time.
Many times you sacrificed yourself for me.
And many so many that I did not appreciate,
But I just want to tell you.
That in my heart you must always exist.
DANIEL LARUSSO
He had never written me something so beautiful, my tears ran down my cheeks as I pressed the letter to my chest until suddenly a voice took me out of my reverie.
"Happy Mother's Day" said my son Daniel as he hugged me. "My gift is not much compared to everything you have given me ... but I want to tell you that it is with all the love in the world."
Saying this he gave me a small black velvet box, when I opened it, my heart leapt with happiness as more tears ran through my eyes.
"Daniel is precious" I replied smiling as I placed the beautiful white gold locket in the shape of a heart that when opened shows the most important people in my life, my beloved husband Anthony and my son."It's the best gift you could give me..."
"I love you mother…"
