Pebbles, Stones and Boulders

- "I am truly inspired to have my life experience and journey be shared with others.". - "Those who wonder why, and why it isn't. It doesn't have to be why. It can be something more." — Anne McCann, unfinished journal

After surviving unimaginable loss — a childhood fire that killed members of her family, cancer, addiction, and grief — Hailey's mother carried a story she always meant to write. She never got the chance. She passed away at fifty-three, leaving behind a half-filled journal and a promise unfinished. From childhood bullying and learning disabilities, to becoming her mother's caregiver, losing her father, and finding herself orphaned at twenty-one — this is a story of resilience, survival, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter. Told through memory, pain, and love — this is not just a story about loss. It's about what we carry. And what carries us.
