Whew, I didn't make it through that with dry eyes. 😭 This middle of the story stuff is not for the faint of heart. Another mama recently told me through choking tears for her child, "It's not what we would have chosen, but it's where we are."

It's hard letting go of the version of their stories we hoped for and counted on, and learning how to best show up in the real version. Just know that you're not alone. We're in the middle of a story too with hard twists we never saw coming. I have to remind myself often that I don't know how the story turns out, and to trust the One who does, but I'm better at forgetting than I am at remembering. Your sharing this is another reminder for me, so thank you.

😢 I don’t have words of wisdom or something I can say to help the pain…but I walk beside you.
