Megan climbed into her mother’s lap, and Julia hugged her tightly. They talked a little more, and before they left, Julia turned to Sara with a hopeful plea. “If you’re open to it… I’d love for you to come back. Not as a nanny, maybe just to visit. Megan clearly adores you.”
A New Path for Everyone
In the following weeks, Sara visited Julia and Megan regularly. She often brought small gifts like a coloring book or bubbles, and sometimes they just sat in the backyard. Julia began therapy and started journaling again, using writing to help her process the loneliness and pain of the divorce.
One afternoon, Sara came home with glowing news: “She said she wants to apply for a part-time job. She’s starting to feel like herself again.”
That was the moment I realized a profound truth: healing can come through the smallest of voices. A toddler who can barely speak can still speak the deepest truth. Words that seem simple can carry a meaning far greater than we first understand.
