A month later, Ashley and I were back at the shelter, handing out muffins. She laughed with the kids, her happiness echoing through the room, and for a moment, it felt like we had never lost anything at all.

Ashley would know the truth one day. When that day came, she could decide what to do with it, just as her mother once had.

Love is a lot like a recipe — passed down, changed, but never lost. Sometimes, after all the hurt, it still finds its way back home.
