For the people carrying more than anyone sees.

I didn’t set out to start a clothing line.

I set out to survive caregiving.

For five years I cared for my mom through Lewy Body Dementia. I watched the disease take her piece by piece — her memories, her words, her ability to know my name. And through all of it I kept showing up. Not because I had it together. But because that’s what love does.

It shows up even when it’s breaking.

When she passed in June of 2024 I was left with a grief I didn’t have words for. So I started writing. And somewhere in all that writing — these words emerged. The ones that said what I could never quite say out loud.

The ones that said what you have never quite been able to say out loud either.

So I put them on shirts.

Not because caregivers need more stuff. But because sometimes you need something to wear that says — without explanation, without finding the words —

I have been through something profound. I am still standing. And I am not alone.

Every shirt carries a small pink watercolor heart on the left sleeve.

When I was caregiving I felt invisible. Isolated. Like no one could possibly understand what I was carrying. I don’t want that for you.

That little heart is a reminder — every time you glance down at it — that you are not alone. That someone who has been exactly where you are is walking this road right beside you.

I see you. I know. Me too.

This collection is for the 3am wake-ups. The tears you cry in the car. The grief you smile through. The love that never quits even when everything else does.

It’s for you.

It has always been for you. 🩷
