Lessons You Never Knew You Needed…

“Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual, but it teaches you the kind of wisdom that no book ever could.”

That’s a heartfelt quote that fits beautifully.

Motherhood isn’t always the journey we expect, but it’s the one we’re given, full of twists, turns, and moments that change everything. My daughter, born at just 30 weeks, was never supposed to survive the first few months. With a complete heart block, and the uncertainty of her future, we spent countless sleepless nights in the NICU, clinging to hope and waiting for a miracle.

Each day in that hospital felt like an eternity—each day that my baby struggled for breath, fought for surgeries, and faced the unknown. Yet, when we finally brought her home after 4.5 months in PICU, it felt like a fairy tale, but we knew it wasn’t over. Her journey had only just begun. The doctors said she might never get off her feeding tube. But she proved them wrong. Slowly, step by step, she fought through every challenge, defying the odds.

Two years later, she took her first wobbly steps, a moment I’ll never forget. And with every single milestone—no matter how small—she taught me the true meaning of strength, patience, and love. Moving to a new and bigger apartment became our opportunity for new beginnings. But even as we faced socialization struggles, health battles, and constant appointments, happiness found its way into our lives.

This journey, though filled with hard moments, is one I wouldn’t change for the world. My daughter, my warrior, has taught me that the strength we need to face motherhood is already within us—we just have to believe it, every day..
