No.

The hardest word for us to hear.

The words of diagnosis may not be understandable.  The words of a prognosis fall on deaf ears.

But when we ask a question, with a heart full of hope and expectation and the answer comes back in the form of two little letters, we are overwhelmed.

God sometimes says No.

That's the truth of it.

This side of Heaven, we may never know why.

And that's the hard part.

That's where our Faith meets the road.

No.
