The past year has been one of the most painful and longest seasons of my life. I lost one of the most important people to me — a heartbreak I truly thought I would never recover from. And yet, somehow, you helped me survive it.
You stayed. You made sure I was never alone — and always fed 🤣🥹. You carried me in ways you probably don’t even realize.
From losing Papa, to being unemployed, to sitting with me through my darkest days… to supporting and cheering me on when I took a chance on what I love most — cooking. To celebrating with me when I finally got the job I prayed so hard for.
You don’t know how many times you’ve saved me this year.
Thank you for the quiet efforts — for protecting me from drowning in my own thoughts, for listening to my endless stories and memories, and for letting me grieve in my own time, at my own pace.
Six years in, and you are still my safest place ❤️
I love you, kaayo.🌻💛
