Day 10

From Mom

The weekend finally came and we got to visit our girl today. As hard as the goodbyes are, the greetings are not pleasant either... not when you are visiting your child on someone else's time and watch. Again, it's just not natural. The first week was very difficult for all of us. Her absence was greatly felt and her big smile sorely missed. We are very proud of her, she's been working hard and opening up a lot about the things she is feeling and the struggles she is having. There are a lot great people working diligently with her to try to get to the core of the problem. As her mom, I want answers. I want to understand why my child is experiencing these emotions and having such a hard time. I want to know that her healing is coming, soon. We've heard from a lot of professionals throughout this journey that there isn't always an answer. That sometimes these things just happen and we just have to figure out the best way help her get through this. So, we sacrifice and deal with, and barely tolerate, this separation for the sake of her healing. We know it won't be easy. There are days when even leaving the house in the mornings is difficult but we know God is at work. He is good and though right now it feels like there is no light at the end of this tunnel we know that one day, soon, we will testify of His goodness and His grace in our baby girl's life. Thank you for your continued prayers. Without which we would not be standing today.
