“When I became a mother, I was handed more than a child — I was handed a storm.”

A piece from my heart — for every mother who has ever sat quietly in the dark, wondering if she’s the only one carrying so much.

You're not alone. The storm within you is real. And your strength, even in silence, is extraordinary. 🌧️💛
