Yesterday, I finally got to hug my mom again. ❤️ We hadn’t seen each other since March 2022. Since that terrible March when the war divided our lives into “before” and “after.” Almost five years have passed. So much has happened during this time. So much has changed. There have been moments of happiness, pain, fear, loss, and hope. Time has flown by so quickly. Back then, I was just my mom’s daughter. Today, I am a mother myself. And yesterday, three generations of our family were finally together. ❤️ It’s impossible to put into words what it feels like to hug your mother after almost five years of separation. Yesterday, my mom was finally here with me. And that means more than words could ever express. ❤️
