During nursing school, there were times when I had to be away from home—moments that required me to trust others with what mattered most.

Two women from my church stepped in without hesitation, helping with school pickups and drop-offs, ensuring my children were cared for in my absence. At times, one of my son’s teachers did the same.

They understood what my son needed— Knowing he might struggle with my absence, his teachers paid close attention, offering him patience, stability, and quiet reassurance during those moments.

It was a reminder that care does not exist in isolation, but in community—and that sometimes, it is the people around us who make it possible for us to keep going.
