Ema dii,
You are one of the most valuable, encouraging, and calming people in my circle.
Your presence feels like that gentle push every writer needs — soft but strong, quiet but full of impact.
Your books reflect that same energy — emotion-filled, thoughtful, beautifully mature, and written with so much heart. You don’t just write stories; you write comfort. You write understanding. You write the kind of lines that stay with readers long after they close the chapter.
You’ve supported me even when I wasn’t at my best. You’ve reminded me to keep going.
Thank you for being one of the biggest reasons I didn’t give up on writing.
Thank you for believing in me more than I believed in myself.
You’re gold, dii. Truly.
