I didn’t realize how much you were carrying until I saw it with my own eyes. Up before dawn, sorting medication, cooking breakfast, driving to appointments, holding everything together for someone who couldn’t do it themselves.

I used to think caregiving was just what families do. But it’s not—it’s a thousand invisible sacrifices, every single day. And I hate how many of them I let pass without saying a word. The first time I said, ‘Thank you for taking care of us,’ you smiled, but I could see how much it mattered. I use the quiet effort app. It keeps me from letting your love go unseen.
