Phone call.
Disbelief.
No!!
Adrenalin.
Rambling words.
Panicked thoughts.

Get it together.
Just facts, please.
Numb.
Please, God!
Hope.
Crushed hope.
Be strong.
More facts.
Anger.
Wait.
Honest words.
Prognosis.
Asleep? Nightmare??
Pinch hand. Bite lip.
Real. Surreal, but real.

Sorrow.
Why, God, why?!!
Sterile environment.
Head in hands.
Tear on floor.
Would switch places.
How?
Oh, God! Oh…God…
Resolve.
Forward.
Never the same.
New normal.
God bless.

God certainly knows all the factors surrounding our concerns, heartaches, thoughts and sorrow. We don’t understand the why of situations in our lives – that’s where faith and trust become the strongest. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
