Stories like this are a reminder that institutional reform matters, but it can never replace parental agency. A parent's determination to see their child fulfil their potential remains one of the most powerful forces in human life.
randomly talked about weekend plans with a lady at my gym and she told me that her best friend passed away 8 years ago giving birth, so her and other girlfriends corrordinate with the father to bring the daughter to Houston and rotate weeks with her in July. they do activities, tell her stories about her mom, show old pictures, and take her to all of her momโs favorite places. this weekend starts her week! probably the sweetest thing iโve heard all year! ๐ฅฐ๐งก๐ฅน๐ญ

We had our sibling blood stem cell/ bone marrow transplant 17th December 2025; we got her latest blood results back, over 95% of her blood is mine!
SO grateful to our BMT team, our surgeons, nurses, HCAs.
My world is healing
