Strength isn’t about size. It’s about refusal.

Charlotte weighs five pounds.

She’s been through more than many people I know — major surgery, chronic health challenges, endless vet visits, medications, and now a feeding tube. And yet… she keeps showing up. She still looks out the window. She still cuddles. She still tries to eat on her own, even when it’s messy and uncomfortable. She still grooms herself — not perfectly, but with determination.

Leadership isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a small being quietly refusing to quit. That’s strength.
