DOT 27 : COMMOTION

Daniel (7+ years old) 
Tuesday, November 12, 2002
 
Deep sobs racked her body ...
as she let her guard down and allowed herself to be consumed by an overwhelming wave of emotions that threatened to suffocate her and leave her lungs gasping for air. 
Dropping to her knees, she cried her heart out and wept as if her life depended on it.

For all mothers out there with children who are living with brain tumors or have gone to Heaven because of that, 
those tears that morning ... 
she swore solemnly ...
were shed for you ...

Shortly after regaining her composure, Mom came out of the bathroom quietly. Feeling embarrassed with her flushed appearance and tear-stained face, she slipped out of the room, unnoticed, for some fresh air.

Outside, there was a small commotion with a little girl who was wailing loudly. She was about your age, clinging to her mommy, screaming her lungs out and looking absolutely terrified. 
 
When the oceans rise and thunders roar ...
I will soar with You above the storm ...
Father, You are King over the flood ...
I will be still and know You are GOD ...
 
 STILL
