Ouch!!! Sometimes the truth hurts...

I originally posted this because it was too large of a file to email to our speech therapist but then I had a few thoughts about it...this is Grace talking to us prior to going into surgery. For those of you who haven't gotten to visit with or talk to Grace one on one watching and listening to this video lets you know what we mean when we say she has a speech impairment. So for curious minds now you have heard it. I would love NOTHING more than to tell you now post surgery you could understand 100% of what she says. I would even be delighted with 70% but that isn't the case. Her speech isn't that much better despite the drama of the surgery and the last few months. As much as it breaks my heart to admit that - it is true. No matter how much I wish the outcome was successful, I need to accept it wasn't. I am struggling with the knowledge that God is able to fix this and He has choosen not to. The "why" of it all can really frustrate me. I know that He loves her even more than we do and He has a plan for her life. He knows every hair on her head and every thought she has even before she utters a word. Knowing that as truth - may just be the only answer as to "why" I ever get.
