Dear God,

There are answers and then there are answers to prayer.  One year ago today my nephew's troubled adopted teenage son set a fire in their home that subsequently killed my nephew.  My sister who still deeply grieves the death of her son remembered this day and on our trip together said she was sure she would not sleep tonight remembering that gruesome, awful day in the hospital. Of course, I thought to myself.  As a mother I would be keenly aware of my child's of the timing of the horrendous event. 

We prayed, my daughter, cousin and I that Debi would sleep through the night.  And she did.

Only you know
the deepest sorrow
in our lives.
Only you
can heal
deep, deep hurts.
Only you
answer prayer.

Love, Andrea
