All The Lives I've Loved You Through: a Collection About Loving Child Through Every Version of Their Life

Motherhood is a lifetime lived in chapters. Some you expect. Some you survive. Some break your heart wide open just to let more love in.All the Lives I Loved You Through is a lyrical journey through the evolving landscape of a mother's love, beginning before the first heartbeat and stretching long past the moment a child learns to live without you in the room. These poems follow the quiet miracles and quiet devastations of raising a human being: the early wonder, the learning, the rebellion, the letting go, and the pride that aches as much as it heals.Told in ten intimate sections, this collection traces every version of love that parenthood demands: soft, fierce, patient, bruised, and endlessly renewing. It's a celebration of the children we raise, the versions of ourselves we discover, and the invisible thread that stretches across every age, distance, and lifetime.For every parent who has ever watched their child run ahead, waited with a breaking heart, or loved them through every version of their becoming; this collection is for you.
