She reminded me that courage does not always look dramatic.
Sometimes courage looks like a child walking into a store with a few dollars in her pocket, hoping to buy a birthday cake for someone she loves.
The Meaning of Family
The story also reminded me that family is about more than shared names or living under the same roof.
Family is love.
It is showing up.

She wanted her mother to feel celebrated.
She wanted one more happy moment.
That is what makes her story so powerful.
