Chapter 6: Learning How to Be a Family Again
Life did not magically return to normal.
There were wounds that needed time.
Mira struggled with crowded places.
Loud noises.
Dark rooms.
Sometimes she woke up terrified.
Logan never forced her to forget.
He simply stayed.
Eli became the bridge between the parents who lost three years together.
He showed Mira his school projects.
His drawings.
His favorite books.
Every small thing he had saved because he wanted to share it with her someday.
One afternoon, Eli handed Mira a small notebook.
âWhat is this?â
He smiled.
âMy memories.â
Inside were drawings.
Pictures.
Little notes.
Things he wrote during the years she was gone.
The final page said:
âMom, I knew you would come back.â
Mira held the notebook against her heart.
And cried.

Because her son had believed in herâŠ
Even when the entire world had not.
