[Penny's pov]
It feels like a miracle whenever I see my daughter. Recently, she has been looking happy and smiling spontaneously, which I have seen her do. We had our differences back, which I am partly to blame but seeing her normal self has been a huge motivation for me. Before, we didn't talk much and had a pretty weak companionship, but opening up about it has helped me understand her better.
I always thought I was doing my best for my daughter, but I was so wrong that she was almost at her breaking point. It pains me to remember the past, but I don't know what I would do with that guilt if I had lost her.
