I was preparing to leave Jamaica from my Honeymoon and my best friend was in a state of complete devastation.
Lauren Grace Williams, a sweet baby girl who had just arrived here, was taken back home.
It was absolutely the most helpless I have ever felt to date. I can vividly remember not knowing what to do- but transferring all the leftover clean underwear in my honeymoon suitcase into a new tote bag and throwing in a black dress and dog food while K booked a dog-friendly hotel in Knoxville for the next few days. All while racking my brain. What happened? Why? I don't understand. Are you sure this is real? I just held her. We need to leave. Now. We got the dogs from the grandparents and hit the road. A resented extended vacation.
A lot has transpired in the past year, including my bestie getting pregnant and expecting a sweet baby not long after Chamblee arrives. I still don't understand, but I do trust. I trust that God has a plan. And, no matter how annoying it is to hear that sometimes because it just. doesn't. make. sense. I do trust Him.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
