"Wait till you have kids
that behave just like you.

But I did.
I did have kids that are just like me.

And I realized
how easy it was to love me.

How easy it was to be kind,
to not belittle and humiliate.

I have kids that are just like me,
but they will never feel my heartbreak."

This excerpt from the book encapsulates the heart of Wilted Flowers, highlighting a mother's determination to protect her children from the pain she endured, ensuring they never feel the same heartbreak.
