Today, around 11:00 AM, Clara returned home after a 4-month business trip.

For listening even when you don’t want to.

For lowering their voice when it would be easier to shout.

Because they understand that people aren’t perfect, but they still choose to stay close.

Clara could have left. She could have closed the door and never looked back. She had her reasons. She was in pain. She had her pride.

But he chose something more difficult.

He chose to stay and look straight ahead.

He chose to rebuild instead of breaking.
