People Who Hold Us

There are people who come into our lives when everything is already broken. They did not cause the wound, they did not say the word that hurt, they did not disappear when they were needed most. They are the ones who know how to move carefully among the debris and ruins they did not create. They do not seek recognition, they do not promise solutions, they do not seek applause. Their presence changes life quietly, through actions that show they will not cause any more harm.

These people teach something essential. They show us that life can reward us, that not everyone will hurt us, that there are those who come simply to hold and love. They arrive to accompany us, to keep us standing when we cannot do it alone. They are the greatest act of silent, constant love. A million thanks, Mette.
