Chapters
Writing this book. It was inspired as a tribute to my daughter. My daughter, even though she was only three, she was compassionate.
And loving, and.
She saw the people that felt invisible.
So I wanted.
To continue her legacy and keep her memory alive.
And that's what.
Inspired me to push through. Because writing this book was painful. It was so painful, I had to relive the pain and the darkness to be able to convey it to the reader in detail. And putting yourself through that excruciating agony when you know what it feels like is something people don't. I didn't want to do it, but.
My the.
Pain was lesser than the purpose.
I wanted.
More to bring hope and honor my daughter and do my part in this. In this wholeness, in this family, this universe that I'm a part of. Then I wanted to stay comfortable and not be exposed to the pain.
