Promises and tears
As we prepared to say goodbye, Olivia’s tears were unbearable. “I’ll come back for you, I promise,” I said, holding her tightly.
Her small nod showed she understood, but it didn’t ease the ache in my chest. My heart ached deeply watching the tears roll down her cheeks, yet I knew this was a step we had to take.
All I could do was reassure her of our unyielding love.
