Summary

"We didn't get that miracle that we really desperately pleaded for, but I feel like I have a stronger testimony of miracles than I ever have, even though it wasn't the one that I wanted. I don't know the answers of why she didn't get to live the rest of her life and why she isn't here with us and why am I still here? It's like such a strange, backward feeling that you have a child that's no longer here and then I feel like she is--this is still her story, because she's impacting people as well and she's still a part of it. It's still her story. And so that really motivates me to share the gospel and to share our experience."
