Even before I called Cyn, I already thought that I will never be able to comfort her with anything. How can you comfort a mother whose only child is taken away from her? Just imagining what I would have felt if it happened to me ... I had a hard time breathing.
I called Cynthia to discuss the celebration of Mama and Papa's 50th wedding anniversary. The conversation lasted 45 minutes. And it was mostly an outpouring of her loneliness. I felt like my heart was pierced so many times over ... just hearing how she was trying so hard to control her sobs while she was whispering her story. I pray everyday that GOD will have mercy on her and bring her peace.
I believe that what we are now is a sum of all the decisions we made in our life. I thank you GOD for guiding me to make the right decisions! I can't say I didn't make a few wrong turns. But looking back, I am glad that I did not do permanent damage to anyone. And that God did have mercy on me.
