I don’t think it would have been any easier to let go of Madelyn had we been given warning. Had we known; been given time to process it before it happened. Although it’s not always easy to do so, I have learned to live life without fear. I now fully understand that everything and everyone, even those that I hold most dear, ultimately belong to our Heavenly Father. His ways are higher and greater, even when we don’t understand them. I know how much it hurts to have the most precious thing in the world taken from me. And you would think having gone through that I would hold on even more tightly to our boys. But it’s quite the opposite actually. I’m even more trusting. More free. Free of fear of the known and unknown. Because in the end, God has a plan. And with or without my tight grip, His plan is going to unfold. So if I could offer one thing–one piece of advice–it would be to loosen your grip. To let go. Because when you do, you will learn how to fly.
