For Jordan

My Heart!
If I could put my arms around you
And draw your pain into me--- I would.
If I could take your place
to channel away your sorrow---I wouldn't hesitate.

But I can't--We all have our cups to bear.

But as you bear yours, know that I'm here...waiting...praying...
for the return of your smile, your laughter---your growth.


It hurts that we can't always protect our children.
I've never known such sorrow, but I'm thankful for the joy I receive
watching God work and knowing He's protecting you--- He's loving you
even more than I---
I trust Him with your life---But you must trust also!
