Behind the Scenes with Mom: Alice and Olivia's Perspective

Previously

…Alice closed her eyes, the words sinking in, not as a reassurance, but as a simple, beautiful truth. She felt the familiar weight of her mother’s hand, a silent testament to a love that was vast enough to hold them all, without question, without comparison. The competition she had imagined, the finite resource of affection, dissolved like mist in the morning sun. Her mom’s love wasn't a race to be won, but a boundless ocean, and she was swimming in its gentle, unwavering current. And beside her, in that same ocean, swam Olivia, Zara, Frank, Paul, Rose, Peace, Miranda, Lambert, and Kim, all loved, all cherished, all equally, wonderfully, special.
