She feared that the people who believed she had ruined her life might be right. She questioned whether she was capable of rebuilding, whether she would ever become successful, and whether the damage could truly be repaired.
She also worried about the lesson her daughters were receiving.
They had witnessed her work hard. They understood persistence and knew what refusing to quit looked like. But Kimberly wanted them to see more than the struggle; she wanted them to eventually see that something beautiful could exist on the other side of it.
