Nighttime Plans
Each evening, after tucking the kids into bed and whispering assurances into their curls, I stayed up late planning my next steps.
The soft glow of the nightlight illuminated their sleeping faces, giving me a moment of peace. I cleared my mind and strategized, knowing the days ahead held new challenges.
Knowing I had a plan comforted me, even as I kept it hidden, waiting for the right moment.
