How tall are you ?

I never thought love would feel this heavy. My fiancé is based in New York, and his heart is set on us settling there building a home, starting a family, creating the life we've dreamed about. I work between New York, London, and Manchester, but most of my free time has always been in London, with my mum and my only brother. That's where my roots run deepest. Since Dad passed, Mum has been carrying a quiet kind of loneliness that only those who've lost their partner truly understand. The thought of leaving her alone in that big house, with the silence growing louder each day, terrifies me. I'm scared it could affect her health, that the emptiness might slowly break something inside her that no phone call or weekend visit could fully heal.I love my fiancé deeply. I want to say yes to New York, to our future, to the beautiful chapters waiting for us. But how do I turn the page when it means closing the door on the woman who gave me everything? End of April is my deadline to give him an answer, to start planning our wedding, to begin our life together. My heart is split between two cities, two loves, two futures. I'm praying and hoping for clarity, for a way that honors both the man I chose amongst everyone else and my beloved mother, who means the whole world to me, and my one and only brother, who loves, adores, and protects me more than anything else. I'm not sure anyone has ever been torn between the person you love and have the strongest feelings for and your family, who you love so much and have been your strongest pillar all through your life. I'm caught in between and don't know exactly what to do or where to start 😭 💔 ❤️
