LUKE’S POV

The symphony of birds chirping outside my window greeted me as I slowly opened my eyes. The warm rays of sun streaming in through the curtains enveloped me in a cozy embrace. I stretched my arms and let out a content sigh, knowing it was going to be a wonderful day.

Saturdays were always special, but today was even more so because I had plans to spend the day with my mother in our garden. I felt joy and anticipation at the prospect of spending time with her in the splendor of nature. I couldn’t wait to start the day and make some beautiful memories with my dear mother, just as always.

I jumped out of bed and quickly threw on some clothes before rushing down the stairs. As I descended, I could hear the faint sound of my mother’s voice coming from the garden. I burst through the back door and saw her kneeling in the dirt, carefully tending to her beloved plants.

“Good morning, Luke!” she exclaimed, looking up at me with a warm smile on her face. The sight of her always brought a sense of peace and comfort to my heart. I greeted her back with a smile and joined her in the garden, ready to start the day together.

“Morning, Mom!” I exclaimed with pure joy in my voice. “Can we please play in the garden today? It’s such a beautiful day, and I can’t wait to spend some time outside with you.”

I stood, eagerly awaiting her response. I could already imagine all the fun activities we could do together in the garden. The possibilities were endless, from playing catch to having a tea party with my stuffed animals. I knew my mom would be just as excited as I was, and making more happy memories with her in our little outdoor oasis was just the thing.
