The day the adoption finalized, I stood in court and swore to raise Rosie.
Evelyn sat in the front row, smiling through tears.
“I love you, sweetheart,” she whispered.

This beautiful journey started with $2.
A note on a locker. A daughter who wouldn’t look away. And an old woman who finally let someone see her.
Small moments that became everything.

Some acts of kindness change a moment.
Others change everything.
