Day 17

A picture of something that has made

a huge impact on your life recently.

The death of little Maya.

I haven't seen her for a few years now,

but that doesn't change anything.

And it doesn't change the fact that I have known her mother

since she was little,

and have considered her my family for more than half of my life.

 I became a Torres 21 years ago today,

and just because Randy was an idiot that earned himself a divorce,

doesn't mean I left the family.

Besides that,

I am a mother.

And a human being.

This tragedy has really rocked my world

and my eyes have been wanting to tear up constantly

for a week now

because my heart is so sad for Jessica.

I don't know what reason God has for letting this happen,

but I know he has a reason.

There is no way my God, her God,

would allow pain like this,

if it weren't for a good reason.

It doesn't stop the grief that is felt as humans that don't know

the behind the scenes answers though.

Even Jesus wept.

lurve you, xoxo v.
