Owner's Story

Lost my mother in 2021. Breast cancer. She fought it for almost a decade — surgeries, chemo, radiation, then more chemo. She never complained, not once, not even at the end. Mom was born in Charlotte in 1948 and never lived anywhere else. She loved North Carolina the way some people love a person — with full attention and no reservation. This hex is for her. For the way she made every Christmas magic. For the way she held my hand through every hard thing. We miss you, Mom.
