She eagerly anticipates this special day, filled with hope and longing, as she dons her best clothes and dreams of the moment they will be reunited. Through her thoughtful reflections, readers are introduced to the complexities of love, loss, and the struggles of families impacted by incarceration. The narrative beautifully captures the mixed emotions of joy and sadness, highlighting the importance of family bonds despite physical separation, while also emphasizing the resilience of love in difficult circumstances.
