The Quiet Strength

<p><span>Sometimes big things happen when you're still small.</span></p><p><span>This is a story about what it felt like to be the only child left at home when my mom got very sick. It's about how she changed and how I changed too.</span></p><p><span>It's about the quiet ways we love each other-through cooking sewing gardening and waiting. It's about what happens when someone you love becomes someone new and you still love them just as much.</span></p><p><span>If someone you care about is sick or going through something hard I hope this story helps you feel seen a little stronger and a little less alone.</span></p>
