In the days and weeks that followed, I focused on healing and ensuring that Lily felt as loved and secure as ever. We talked about what had happened, and I reassured her that she was my priority, now and always. The experience taught me that love isn’t just about two people coming together; it’s about creating a life that encompasses and cherishes all the people who matter most. And for me, that life revolves around my daughter, whose place in my heart and my world is non-negotiable.
