1_million_words ENJOY!!
Joan knew that Sherlock was the very definition of a complicated man.
He had a genius level intelligence and could easily understand the complexities of the criminal mind but he had a difficult time talking to people if it didn’t involve deducing them to shreds.
He could spot the smallest details of a murder scene but he’d practically break out in hives at the thought of meeting an attractive woman for coffee.
Joan knew that Sherlock could be kind and thoughtful but he usually deflected any of his compassionate acts under the guise of sarcasm.
She wondered if his mother’s presence in his life would have helped Sherlock to balance his sharp intelligence with a gentler more intuitive manner.
May Holmes would have encouraged her son to not only read peoples villainous intentions but to also read their emotional reactions to his words.
If Sherlock’s mother had been with him as he grew up, she would have helped her son to navigate his time in boarding school better, he might have made more friends and then he wouldn’t have been so lonely.
Then perhaps he might never have started using drugs or fallen under the spell of Jamie Moriarty and he might actually have a relationship with his dad.
That was a heck of a lot of maybes but Joan knew one thing to be true. No matter how grown up a person became, we will always need our mothers.
