Yesterday’s visit to my mom’s house triggered a storm of emotions I hadn’t expected. An encounter with our nosy neighbor, and the tense conversation with my mother that followed, forced me to question the patterns I’d been living by for years. Now, on January 1st, I’m standing at the edge of change, wondering if I’ll ever have the courage to truly put myself first.
I stood beside Michael through his final moments, and his children threw me out like I was a stranger. Our love started late in life, each of us carrying wounds and dreams that never quite came true.

This is the story of how I learned that sometimes, the hardest battles are fought before the sun comes up.
