I love what you said about Katie! I believe she helped to heal your broken heart. The same happened to me in a different way. My husband and I were trying to have a 2nd child for years. We knew God was sending another but were getting frustrated with how long it was taking. I felt God saying, “My timing is better than your timing.” Not only was it perfect timing in our marriage when my daughter arrived, but it was also perfect timing when my husband died suddenly. My son was already an adult when my husband passed, but my daughter was only 10 when he passed away. We had each other to cling to and process our grief. It was beautiful to have each other to work out our thoughts and emotions. One of us seemed to have the strength that the other one needed on any given day. It’s been almost 3 years and we still see each other though the rough patches even though they are more infrequent now. I am comfortable with the idea that God gives and takes away. He is sovereign. My heart will choose to say, “Lord blessed be your name.”
