He was right.
I spent years believing I had escaped my past.
But the truth is, my past didn’t come back to destroy me.
It came back to redeem me.
I abandoned my daughter when I was sixteen.
Yet when she had every reason to turn away, she chose love.
She chose forgiveness.
She chose us.
And in doing so, she saved more than Lily’s life.
She saved mine.
Because sometimes the people we push away aren’t burdens.
Sometimes they are the miracle we’ve been praying for all along.
