For The Ring Toss Kind Of Happy

Mom, I was thinking about those beach house days, being near the water with friends around, laughter going, and me learning how to play ring toss in the middle of all of it. It was one of those scenes that probably felt ordinary at the time, but it still lives in me as pure, easy happiness.

Now that I am older, I see that the best part was not just the beach or the game. It was the way you helped make life feel open and safe enough to enjoy. You gave me room to be happy without having to earn it.

Today I am praying for you in this slow healing stretch. I hope you feel protected, rested, and surrounded by love in a way that lets your whole self breathe. I love you so much, Mom.
