"Hi Mom…" I said as I laid flowers on the grave of my mother, Sara Rockbell. "I guess it's been a while since I last came to talk to you, but better now than never, right?" I smiled as my eyes started to water.

"Life's good in Central. I studied a little more on medicine, and now I have those two letters attached to the end of my name. Just like you and Dad, right?" I wiped the tears off my eyes before they could roll down my cheeks. "I'm an automail mechanic slash doctor. Cool, right?

"I have my own automail shop slash clinic in Central. Things have been going really great! Customers are very kind and understanding, too… Everytime I step into my clinic, I feel as if you and Dad are guiding me, helping me keep moving forward and make the right decisions. Those times make me remember all the things we did together when I was a kid. Like when we baked that cake for Dad…and when you helped me make chocolates for Ed on Valentine's!" Uncontrollable tears started streaking down my face.

"You know that guy, Mom? The one that killed you and Dad… I want you to know that I forgive him for what he did to you. I knew that … that's what you wanted. You wouldn't have wanted me to take revenge, right? That's the way you raised me…" I fell down to my knees, crying.

"I love you, Mom… I'm thankful for everything you have done for me. I miss you, Mom…" I said between sobs.

"Winry? Could we go now?" Ed yelled from down the hill.

"Just give me a sec, you idiot!" I replied, smiling.

"Happy Mother's Day, Mom." I closed my eyes and said a little prayer for my mom before I turned around.

"Mommy~" A little voice called. A little blonde girl with stunningly gold eyes ran towards me and hugged me as tightly as she could.

"Hey, sweetie…" I said gently as I hugged her back.

"Daddy just told me what today is!" She grinned.

"Oh did he?" I laughed as I stood up and held my daughter's hand as we walked down the hill.

"Yeah! Today is Mommy's day! Happy Mommy's day, Mommy!" She smiled as wide as she could. Her sweet face warmed my heart.

There, at the foot of the hill, stood my husband, leaning against the fence post.

"You sure took your time, Win," he smirked as our daughter went ahead of us into the car.

"As did you, I suppose."

"Not as long as you, though."

"Oh really?" I laughed. Ed put his arm around me and pulled me into a hug.

"I love you, Win," he whispered in my ear then pulled me into a kiss.

"Happy Mother's Day."
