Comfort

React to this term: comfort

Comfort to me is still my mom.  Comfort is being with her because she knows more, knows better.  Comfort is her voice on the phone, her arms in a hug, her hands cool on my face.

As I have grown, my mom and I have come to a place where we can comfort each other, and I think that's the best. Especially since she and I are so similar.  I am grateful that beyond being a mother & a daughter, we are friends.

That's the best comfort of all.

You mom is amazing. I can see why she would be the meaning of comfort to you. It is so nice to see how good your relationship with your mom is.

Oh what I wouldn't give for a Wyatt kiss right now! Melting my heart!
I love you Shelly and I am so blessed to be your mom. Being your friend is a bonus I don't take for granted.

To answer your questions:
Yes, Kori had one. It was the same. It burned up in the fire :(
But she wasn't attached to hers like I am with mine.
