You are a garden.

The most important gift a child can receive is a parent’s authentic love. I didn’t grow up with that privilege — not as a child, and not even as an adult. That’s why watching the way you love your kids moves me so deeply.

We can always add more things to our lives, but a mother’s love? That’s what truly shapes the next generation — into thoughtful, kind, resilient, and creative human beings.

You’re teaching your children how to think, how to treat others, and how to navigate a hard world — all while shielding them from the worst of it.

They see a sturdy, consistent adult in their lives, a woman with relentless hope, steady strength, and unconditional love. Because they have you, they will be more than ok.

Oh, Maria. I’m sorry for the delay in responding to this. It made me weep. I’m sorry you didn’t have the love you needed. I love to see your updates and the life you have made for yourself.
