I used the money from the sting to help Caleb with his future, and we moved into a small apartment where we could start fresh. It wasn’t easy, but our bond grew even stronger. One night, while laughing over a TV show together, Caleb nudged me and said, “You really got him good, Mom.” I smiled and kissed his forehead.
“I’ll always find you,” I told him. And I meant it. A home isn’t defined by who you marry — it’s built on love, trust, and the people who stand by you no matter what.
