“Your child will be fine; you on the other hand might have a harder time letting go on the first day of school.”
“Thomas was always one to lend a hand to anyone in need. On February 12, that’s exactly what he was doing. I wanted to know what text was so important it had taken my son away from everyone who loved him.”
“So, I prayed. Asked for God’s Guidance. We prayed over Kristian as a family. Dancing next to my son in his hospital room became therapeutic for all of us.”
“It took a moment to clock what had happened. Everyone was stunned. My sister kept screaming that she’d ruined our wedding.”
“They called him names said he was dumb. They stole money and a wrist band that allowed him to play paint ball.”
“You used the fear of trying to parent my newborn babies alone to destroy every particle of confidence in my being. I remember calling my sister sobbing because I was so overwhelmed with three crying babies that all needed me.”
“I needed a plan to get me out of this one. So, when I arrived I called her being all cute and started reading the entire menu. I know right…”
“I remember hearing a mom saying how patient motherhood had made her. How her life slowed down and she was calmer. I wondered… why wasn’t I calm? I wasn’t calm as a mother. Actually, if I’m being honest, motherhood made me angry.”
“At 2:30 my phone rang, my husband’s panicked voice came through the line, ‘Honey, we had a car wreck.”
“Today he is high again, and today we start all over. And, today I will do what I have always done: pray, hope, and not give up.”
