We all face tough decisions at least once in our lives. Some face harder questions than others.

A dear friend is going through that painful and difficult (perhaps, the most difficult in her life!)  decision-making and execution process as we are speaking. She had to decide not only for herself but for her child’s life that they would both live without the father. I am pretty sure millions of questions must’ve gone through her head as she thought about doing this as it affects not only her but her child.

It’s sad to hear something like this happening. It’s even more sad to hear that this is happening to your dear friend. And as a friend, I can only offer words of comfort and well, basically be a friend – to stand by her and providing her with emotional support. Sometimes, in this practical world we live in, are those even enough?  Perhaps momentarily but when she gets up every morning, she faces reality. She faces her child’s beaming eyes looking up at her with an innocent smile and with full confidence that her life is complete. Little that the little one knows this is far from it. And I am sure, for my friend, going through this is more painful than her own emotions.

But, there is always a clear blue sky after the storm. Perhaps not right away but after the dust settles, the dark clouds get blown over, there is always the sun – shinning brightly from above. It’s God’s way of telling us everything will be ok and that he is watching over us and keep us safe. And I know that better days are awaiting both of them because I believe they earned and truly deserve it. Why shouldn’t they be happy? They will. You’ll see.
