For The Quiet Peace You Gave Me

Mom, I keep thinking about the quieter moments with you, when nothing dramatic was happening and I still knew I was cared for. Maybe it was just being at home, the day moving along, and that calm feeling of knowing I could be myself around you.

As I get older, I understand how much those ordinary peaceful moments mattered. They taught me what comfort feels like, not as a big event, but as something steady you can trust.

I hope today gives you some of that same calm back as you keep taking this recovery one day at a time. I love you, Mom.
