My Darling Daughters; This is The Most Important Thing I have Learned

There was a time in my life when I believed love should understand my silence. I thought that if someone cared deeply enough, they would sense what I needed without my having to say it.

These words are here to guide you, to remind you, and to walk beside you when you need them.
