To my mother,

for standing by me in every way you could, even when it was not easy, even when it was not perfect, for holding me through moments I did not know how to carry on my own, for loving me in ways I am still learning to understand, and for never letting me feel completely alone.

To my father,

for shaping me into who I am today, for the strength you gave me without ever naming it, for the values that stayed with me long after your words did, and for building parts of me I did not realise I would one day need so deeply.

To my sister-in-law,

for standing beside me when I needed it most, for your quiet support, your presence, and the way you showed up without ever asking to be seen for it, for reminding me, in ways both big and small, that I was never alone.
