🌱 What began as a simple desire to grow an avocado tree became a deeper reflection on motherhood, growth, and the unpredictability of life.
In her beautiful poem “Fragile Branches, Fearful Roots,” Amanda Torres opens her heart and shares the quiet ache, hope, and resilience that come with motherhood.
What begins as a story about growing an avocado tree unfolds into something deeper—a tender reflection on what it means to nurture, to try again after loss, and to face the unknown with love.
Some roots take longer. Some hearts heal slower. But even the most fragile branches can grow strong with time, faith, and care.
