The last year of my life revolved around my job, which has been hectic, and my sick mother. Between the office, where I work as a corporate lawyer, and the long and frequent hospital visits, I barely found the time to spend with my husband and daughter.<\/p>\n
My mother\u2019s treatments and medications cost a little fortune, which forced me to work long hours.<\/p>\n
Luckily, my husband Jake has been extremely supportive, overtaking the cleaning, the cooking, and helping our daughter with her school work.<\/p>\n
Most days, I was getting home really late, exhausted and eager to get some sleep.<\/p>\n
One evening, after I took Mia to bed, I cleaned after her and collected her toys and crayons. But then, under the table, I spotted a drawing \u2013 a cute little sketch at first glance.<\/p>\n
It was a family of three. The man was definitely my husband, and the girl was my daughter, but the woman didn\u2019t resemble me at all. Instead, she had long brown hair and a blue gown. On the bottom of the drawing it was written, \u201cI can\u2019t wait for you to be my mom.\u201d<\/p>\n
I recognized my daughter\u2019s bubbly handwriting and I almost collapsed.<\/p>\n
