So beautifully written about your years and days with Brady. It seems you two were extremely close and you each made each other’s lives meaningful. Love seeing the pictures of Brady and of the two of you together so happy and laughing. A very difficult time you both went through together, but you both persevered and made the very best of what you experienced. There couldn’t have been a better mother or caregiver for Brady than you. You both were so fortunate to have had these experiences and shared such an amazing love together. Thank you for sharing part of your story about Brady. Bless you and your family. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. It's an expression of the deep love you hold for each other. And, yes, it's mercy that we don't know all the "lasts"; otherwise, we would break. Praying for peace in your heart. Keep cherishing your wonderful Brady. Love is what always remains.

Such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your experience. I love the perspective of un-nesting as trust that you will be okay. What a positive and powerful reframe.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your writing drew me in immediately and kept me engaged until the end. I now have a term for letting go and releasing that makes so much sense ✨
