MY WORSE NIGHTMARE!
On December 23, 2009, I got the worst news ever! It was a phone call telling me that my son had died. I couldn't grasp the thought of this, it hurt so deep! I felt like a knife had cut me. I called my daughter and heard her cry out, “MOM I'M ON MY WAY. “
We went to his apartment and everything in me just stopped, I couldn't move! All I knew is that my baby was in there and he needed me. They wouldn't let us go in and then I began to cry out for my son. Then I cried out to God. “GOD YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULD KEEP HIM SAFE!”
I had prayed years ago for my children's protection, and I just couldn't believe God was taking my son! I’ve always taught my children to pray, respect others, and put God first in their lives and they always have.
My daughter and son were always so close. She was so devastated, she couldn't even stand. It was like a part of us was being taken away. Until this day the pain of losing my son is still so strong.
My son was 37 years old, and now he’s gone. I was angry and upset, asking God to take me instead, but that was not his plan for me. It's been a year and six month now. I miss him more and more everyday.
What do you do when you've done all you can? As hard as this is, you must stand through it all.
I know God has a plan for my life.
If there is anyone going through this, know that God CAN and WILL bring you through one day at a time. I am able to smile when I think about the good times.
God will bring you through it all.
