Unstoppable

A Story by Susan 🦋

No parent ever wants to hear these words, "Life expectancy is unpredictable." Those words gripped my heart with suffocating fear. A blackness that shrouded my soul and consumed every thought. How does a person live in constant fear of the unknown? Life becomes a struggle. Medication, monitors, therapies, screenings, let her leave the house or never leave her side?

None of us know when God will call us home. We all pray we live long and happy lives. Four words that will NO longer bury me... "Life expectancy is unpredictable." I expect my daughter will live long after I am gone. I predict, she will be the change in the lives of many people.

A love for Christ burns a fire in her soul and has forged an empathetic heart that knows no limit to God's mercy and grace. She radiates a peacefulness that is undeniable. There is something quite humbling when you witness your child speaking God's truth. I am witness to a divine purpose.

My daughter's name was etched upon the brightest star before she was born. She will be the change this broken world needs. Fear will no longer be my companion. Fear ... you are a liar.

There are times whenthe loss of a penny or bruised egos lose the battle for empathy and that is when one reads such inspiring and sincere words like yours, Susan There's complete wonder and strength here in the name of your darling girl who's able to win at all costs and survive what light paled her as she came into the day but discoverd her own vast space to explore. Such proud and courageous words, Beautiful.
