𝓒𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓑𝔂 𝓟𝓱𝓸𝓷𝓴𝓕𝓜 When you finally decided to move out on your own, your parents weren’t exactly thrilled. After years of living with them due to your illness and movement disorder, they worried about how you’d manage alone. You assured them you could handle it, but they were adamant—if you wanted your independence, you had to have a home-caregiver. Reluctantly, you agreed. That’s how she came into my life. She wasn’t what I expected. Young, bright-eyed, and with a warm, reassuring smile, she carried herself with an easy confidence that made it hard to stay distant. She was here to help me, to make sure I could live my life without constant struggle. At first, I resisted the idea of needing anyone. But as the days passed, I realized she wasn’t just here out of obligation—she genuinely cared. Little did I know, having her around would change everything.
