Today is Michaela's birthday. I will try to gather my thoughts later, but right now I am too sad and too tired to write anything. I guess I will just conclude one thing ... love is worth it. It is worth every price we have to pay for it. It is worth fighting for, living for, even dying for.
Like the popular quote that goes around facebook -- "Everybody is going to hurt you. You just have to figure out which ones are worth suffering for."
And on this day, I will once again answer the question, would I choose never to have loved Michaela so I never would have suffered the pain I have? No. I love her. I have always loved her and always will.
So well said, Sharon (as always!)
ReplyDeleteAs the other saying goes... "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
You and Michaela are in my thoughts today.
I have been wracking my brain all day today to try and figure out what to say to you today Sharon. I cannot find the right words. So I will send you and Michaela my love and thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your life. Robin Painter
ReplyDeleteSharon, Michaela has been in my thoughts and prayers EVERY day. I pray everyday that God will bring justice for this sweet child and that you will be able to witness it (I do believe that there WILL be justice for her). I wish that there was a magic wand that could bring you together right now...Sharon, God will bring you together again - that was how He intended it to be - and no mortal can take that away from you. May this new year bring you comfort, peace and the answers you long for. I wish Michaela a happy birthday, and pray that she can be back in your arms again. I am praying for all missing children today.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Michaela and Sharon!
