For The Dinner Table Feeling

Mom, I keep coming back to those normal evenings when dinner was happening at home and life just felt settled. Maybe there was food on the stove, conversation in the kitchen, and nothing especially dramatic going on, but I remember the feeling clearly: I was safe, I belonged, and I could just be myself there.

Now I understand that kind of home takes real love. You gave me comfort in ways that were so steady I did not even know to name them yet.

I hope today gives you a little of that steadiness back as you keep recovering. I love you, Mom, and I am so glad your love is part of what home still means to me.
