A few days later, a small envelope arrived in my mailbox—my name written in handwriting so familiar it made my heart flip.
Inside was a handwritten note.
She remembered me.
She remembered my son.
And she wrote that watching parents find their strength again—after believing they had none left—was the most precious reward she could imagine.

Sometimes they wear scrubs.
Sometimes they knock softly on your door in the middle of the night.
Sometimes they heal you in ways you don’t fully understand until years later.
Now, when life feels heavy, I think of her.

Because of her, I have learned:
Light doesn’t always arrive loudly.
Sometimes it sits beside you in the dark—expecting nothing, offering everything.
