walked around this morning telling myself it's okay. The reason I say it's okay,today is the day my life changed forever.I received the call no parent ever want to receive my son,my best friend had died.It's been 20 years today, yet I can close my eyes and it can feel like yesterday.I know a true and loving God who is right here with me today, if I decided I am going to cry. he will give me the strength to gently wipe away my tears.I thank God for allowing me to look back on this day 20 years ago,I was a broken hearted mother, a suicidal mother,a depressed mother,a lonely mother, a sad mother, I was a mother who saw nothing but death.Today I am thankful for all those things I was, because I am a mother who wants to live again.I have one more hurdle to cross over,my son, my best friend birthday is next month it's okay, I'll make it.When I share my story I don't look for sympathy,sympathy can't heal my broken heart only God can and he did.I guessed I tried not to cry,but my eyes are full of water, but the tears will not drop, I guess God is right here,doing what he does best comforting me in the midst of my storm.I want all of you to know I appreciate all the wonderful people I met at the end of my journey.Had I not believed that God will heal my broken heart I would not have met you.www.authorpatriciayarbrough.comShare
