Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think its more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don't you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining
I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
This song has become our anthem. It sums up pretty well how I feel right now. I have no idea what the ending will be, but I am hopeful that God can redeem this past week. None of it makes any sense. I feel incredibly sad, and yet, alongside it there is a peace. I don't understand the peace. All I can guess is that when people say they know they are being prayed for - this is what it feels like. It was so hard at church today. So many people didn't know what happened this week and asked where the baby was. I sat by one of my dearest friends, but each time her baby cried, I thought of baby girl and couldn't help but cry too. But even with the pain, there were those who cried with me and prayed with me. I know I am not alone in this.
Hopefully, Monday will bring some answers. Even if she doesn't come back here, I just want her to be where she will be loved and cherished as she should be. Thank you each for supporting my family through this terribly difficult season.
