Dear Betty,
You have deeply touched my heart this morning. I am sure that God placed you in my life to
let me know He does still love me and He wants me to carry on, I have battled so much with
this pain and wondered what I did wrong to make everyone turn against me. Thank you so much
for sharing your heart with me. For a while I was doubting my faith and God, I was struggling
so much. I knew that satan was attacking me and I thought at one point it would be easier just
to give in and let him have his way. But I guess my faith is much stronger than I imagined
because I have not given up yet. I try to reach out to other Christians for support and you
Betty have been such an inspiration to me. You have given me the words to comfort me and the
strength to face another day. I know the Lord knows my heart and He knows the pain that I face.
Five years ago after numerous surgeries Kevin and I were going to have a child, a girl. But
in the 5th month of pregnancy the Lord wanted her home. Now He wanted Kevin home and I know
Kevin is with our daughter now and they are waiting for me, that is the one thing that keeps
me going too. Your letters touch me so deeply and I am so happy the Lord lead us together.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I appreciate your prayers. I still cry everyday
for Kevin, he was truly the love of my life. I received the quilt you made yesterday and held
it and cried. It is so beautiful and the letter you put in there about wrapping up in the
quilt in times of comfort just brought me to my knees. I will send it to his mother to let
her know that I do still care for her and the anger she is feeling is ok, if she must take
it out on me, it really is ok. But I too hurt. I will let her know what a special woman you
are and how much you care for the families. Not sure if she will accept it but I will send
it to her.
Thank you Betty, you are such a saint.
Your Sister in Christ,
Theresa
