Falling Apart Some Days?
As I sat in the hospital waiting room, my mind swirled with questions like: will she be able to hear again? Does she have to wear hearing aids forever? What will we do for pain? How are the other kids doing at home? How should I plan the rest of my week? etc. etc. I […]
“I Have Faith That You’ll Figure It Out”
