Sometimes people ask me if I regret anything. If I wish things had turned out differently with Michael.
And I tell them this: I don’t regret a thing.
Because sometimes, life gives you the chance to choose. To choose strength over fear. To choose love over loss. And when you make that choice—not for someone else, but for yourself and the life growing inside you—something beautiful happens.
You become more than just someone’s wife.
You become someone’s whole world.
And in the end, that’s all I ever wanted to be.
To every mother who’s ever had to choose the hard road—know this: There is strength in your silence, power in your pain, and hope in the heartbeat you chose to protect. You are not alone. You are not forgotten. And you are more than enough.
