Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years. And by the time you’re reading this, I’m sure all you can do is laugh and remember how the problems you once faced now seem so small compared to what you're experiencing today. But I hope that through all the battles we’ve fought, one thing has remained constant — that we always got back up and kept trying, that we never gave up despite everything.

I’ve learned the importance of protecting your peace, of not relying on anyone’s presence or absence to define it. I hope that mindset stayed with us as we continue through the next stages of life.

Wishing you all the best as you reread this. Love you always.
