It was an honor to be part of her life. Though I was there to provide care, I was the one who received so much, in her kindness, her resilience, and the quiet wisdom she shared without even trying. It was a true privilege to spend time with Mrs. Cortez. She had a beautiful way of bringing light into a room, with her quick wit, her kind heart, and that unmistakable sense of humor that always made me smile. You could always feel how much love she carried. She was always kind to me, always...
