But it was something every one of us in this situation has had to do.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">I spoke to God many times.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">I made promises to myself.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">I held my child often.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">I made sure that life from this day forward, no matter what happens will be filled with love and light, that all this suffering would not be for nothing.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">But in the still of the night, i was just a girl crying alone in the middle of the night thinking things will never be the same again.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Then</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">He called.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">He sounded tired and sad , almost defeated</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Except for a strange something in his voice, that same strange thing he does when he speaks to me and Olivia like little girls.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Don’t worry baby,</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Everything’s gonna be alright.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">And it was.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">He came home.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Nothing will ever be the same again.</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Family is EVERYTHING️</p><p style="margin-left:8.5pt">Thank you Everyone”</p><div> </div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned=""
