“I didn’t want to leave,” she admitted one night while we sat quietly on th
e nursery floor, watching the girls sleep. “But I didn’t know how to stay.”
I gently took her hand.
“We’ll figure it out,” I told her.
“Together.”
And we did.
It wasn’t easy.
Healing rarely is.
But love, resilience, and the shared joy of watching Callie and Jessica grow slowly helped us rebuild the life we had nearly lost.
