Light Up The Darkness

I wake up on my bed, hear a car leaving the house. I look outside the window but the car has already left my sight. I panic, search every bedroom. Only to find nobody at home.

Where is everybody?

"Mum!? Mum!?"

I run downstairs and there she is, reading a book with her granny glasses on and her cup of tea with toast and jam. Orange (the cat) is lying next to her on the couch. 

She smiles at me, 

"Miss me?" 

I smile back, 

"I thought nobody was at home.." 

What a stupid answer.

Okay, I did miss her. Maybe a little. Maybe even a lot.

Because for a second I felt like I was lost in the dark.
Like someone had switched off all the lights.
And I was searching for someone, something, anything. 

But when I finally found her,

well..
Let's just say,
there is a light that shines brighter than the sun

..and it never goes out.
