A few weeks after Nataly left, we began praying not only for her, but also for her mother and father. And the miracle has started to happen. I am so grateful to be able to witness this even if only from a distance.
And I am so grateful to know that she is loved and taken care of.
We still miss her but seeing her parents lives being built back together is worth the anguish and loss we sometimes feel. Praying they continue to stay strong and do well for her sake and also for the sake of her brothers and sister.
And it's really precious to see her holding her own bottle in the stroller Ella used when she was her age some almost nine years ago.
