Chapters
There were seasons in life where I wondered what our relationship would look like one day, and now looking back through all these memories, I just feel grateful. I'm grateful for growth, healing, and time. One of the greatest gifts God has given me is getting to know my mom not just as a mom, but as a person. A woman who has grown, learned, and kept showing up. You're not the same woman you were years ago, and honestly, neither am I. But somewhere along the way, God brought peace where there once was tension and closeness where there once was distance. Psalm 20:4 says, "May he give you the desires of your heart." And one of the deepest desires of my heart was always family, closeness, peace, and love that feels safe. Now we laugh together, travel, dream, and seeing you stand beside me supporting Aval119 has been more to me than you probably realize. If you would've told me years ago that we'd be here, I wouldn't have believed you, but healing has a way of surprising you. I think sometimes we forget that people can grow, families can heal and God can still restore things that once felt impossible. Thank you for loving me through every version of me. Thank you for continuing to grow with me. And thank you for reminding me that family is worth fighting for. I love you, Mom. Happy Mother's Day.
