This moment occurred on one of those days when emotions ran high and patience felt out of reach. He was working so carefully on building a LEGO car when, in a split second, it collapsed. The frustration was instant, and his tears and screams filled the room. “Fix it! Fix it!” he shouted, desperate for me to make it right.

I tried, but the pressure of his emotions—and my own—became too much. I felt helpless, frustrated, and overwhelmed. My hands were shaking as I tried to fix the car while my own tears threatened to spill over.
And then, through his tears, he asked, “Are we still in war? Do you still love me?” His words stopped me in my tracks. I realized that, to him, it wasn’t just about the car—it was about how we were feeling, how our connection was tangled in the moment’s chaos.

His question was a reminder to step back, breathe, and focus on what truly mattered: the love we share, even in the hardest moments. It wasn’t about fixing the LEGO car—it was about fixing the space between us.

This quote became a profound reminder for me that, no matter how overwhelming things get, love is the bridge that carries us through.
