2025 Update
Foreword
Wow… what a journey it has been.
After all this time, I’ve finally found both the time and the courage to return to this story—a story that holds a very special place in my heart.
I first began writing this in 2019. Then came COVID. Then life happened, as it often does, and this story had to wait patiently for me to come back to it.
But this year, I’m finishing it. No more pauses, no more waiting.
Here’s to new chapters, second chances, and seeing this story through to the very end.
Cheers.
