Over the past years there is I needed that she did not provide. I’m the young woman I’m today because she made sure to me properly.Yesterday I went to see her for Mother’s Day. When I gave her , she held my face in both of her hands and kissed me straight on the mouth I had the flu. Her simple act of affection me back to my first night in America. After I was up from the airport we went home and she my luggage and took me shopping for new clothes since the ones I had brought with me from Africa were a bit .That night before I went to bed, she came to my room, the first room I had ever had for my own. She told me she was to have me and that she would take good care of me. Before she she asked me for a hug.That was my first hug and I was 11 years old at that time. I’m 23 years old now and I have received many over the past years, but none has given me a greater or deeper impression.I regarded her as my mother because my new life began when I came to with her.
