Why tell this story?

I share this story, my story. A story of awful events almost too difficult to share. But in this hesitancy, the story persists and desires to be told. So that the readers may find in the words a story of hope, that transcends reason and human understanding.

I share nothing new only the plaintiff cries of a mother’s heart. Cries that reached beyond her to a source infinitely more powerful and compassionate. Cries that reached outside of time and reason to be heard and answered.

It is my desire here that you will find hope in your own darkness, and that the lessons I learned might serve to encourage you in a situation that may appear hopeless … but in that encouragement you may learn that nothing is outside the hope that we have in a Being more powerful, loving, and understanding than our small minds can fathom.
