If you were to ask where I spend most of my time, the answer would be simple—my garden. It’s my quiet space, my routine, and, in many ways, my therapy. There’s something deeply satisfying about tending to plants, watching them grow from fragile seedlings into thriving life, and knowing that your patience and care made…
My mother-in-law didn’t knock. She never did—but this time she didn’t even pretend.
