For The Peace You Made Room For

Mom, I keep thinking about those quiet moments at home when nothing special was happening — maybe the house was calm, dinner was somewhere in the background, and I could just be there without needing anything to be different.

I did not have words for that as a kid. Now I know that kind of peace is a gift. You made care feel normal enough that I could relax inside it, and that has stayed with me longer than I probably ever told you.

I hope this Sunday feels patient and comfortable for you as you keep finding your steadiness again. I love you, Mom, very much.
