June 28, 2013. It was supposed to be a momentous occasion—the
day my daughter would walk down the aisle in her beautiful wedding gown,
bouquet in hand, best friends at her side, family and friends looking on with joy. It was supposed to be the day she started a
new chapter, the day her dreams would be fulfilled. It was supposed to be the day I started a new
role—mother in law—to someone I loved like he was already one of my own.
But, God had other plans. As much as it hurts, God is always there to
pick up the pieces. Marriage and family
are still two things I want most for her, but I know that they’re in God’s
control—not mine. She must find
fulfillment in God. He is her rock, the
one who deserves her love and attention right now.
While it is a daily struggle to trust
Him with the things I care about so deeply, He has proven that He’s looking out
for her. I leave her future in God’s
hands.
You have all (and especially Hilary)been on my heart and in my prayers this week and especially today. Much love, Auntie Jill
