Shani's Diary

i’m not raising a little boy to stay mine forever.
i’m raising a man who will one day lead, protect,
and pour love into his own family.

i want his wife to feel safe.
chosen. prioritized.
even if that means he tells me “no.”
even if that means i take a step back.

and yes, i hope i’m part of their holidays
and everyday memories.
but i never want to be the reason
there’s tension in their home.

my success as a mom?
knowing i raised a man
who leads with love, not guilt.

that’s how i’ll know i did it right....
