This blog is dedicated to my brother, who has always believed in me, always been there. He carries one of the most loving hearts I have ever known, finds genuine joy in helping others’, listens deeply, forgives generously and celebrates others’ happiness without requiring anything in returnand those who truly see him know how rare he is. Without his steadfast support, this work would never have had the space to come to life. Thank you for being my lantern. I never had to walk in total darkness because you kept a path lit for me.
