This has been the most difficult
test of my life!
I can honestly say over the past
fifty-five years I’ve been through more than my share of tests and trials. Some
harder than others. And almost always, someone else has endured something worse.
At least that’s what I tell
myself to help me keep a proper perspective, along with “This too shall pass.”
But this won’t pass. It’s
eternal. I can’t imagine going through anything worse.
I’ve never felt so much pain and emptiness
at the same time. I am a strong woman. I determined in my mind as a small child
that the world and all of its evil would not tear me down. I know how to survive!
I know how to come out victorious!
But this time….this time I
struggled. I’m still struggling. But deep inside, I know I won’t fail. I know
my God is with me. He weeps when I weep. He holds me when I ask the question
WHY?!! No matter how loud I ask it.
On May 11th, 2017 my
daughter Tamara (author of The Pen) didn’t get up for work. I entered her room
assuming she just forgot to set her alarm. What I discovered, no parent should
ever have to endure.
Tamara had been having nocturnal
seizures for the past five years. The doctors could not find a cause for these
seizures and the medicine to stop them didn’t always work. She had a seizure while
sleeping and apparently stopped breathing. By the time I discovered her, no
amount of CPR could bring her back.
