Some stories only God can write. Mine began with a crisis I never saw coming—a fractured marriage, an unexpected pregnancy, and a courtroom that felt more like a battlefield.

Then came Olivia. A daughter we had to let go of too soon.

And later, Gabriel. A promised child born far too early—his life hanging by a thread in the NICU.

This memoir is the story of those days. And the faith that carried me through them.

I’m Saida Rodriguez, and this space holds pieces of the story I’m still living and still writing. If you're walking through your own unknown, wondering if hope is still worth holding, I'm here to say—it is. Welcome.
