I still miss her...

I kept thinking it would get better.
That I wouldn't think about her daily.
That I wouldn't ache to see her again.
That I wouldn't miss her so terribly.

It hasn't gotten better.
I still think about her daily.
I literally ache...with a mother's heart...to see her again...to tell her how much I love her...to tell her how much God loves her.
I still miss her...terribly.

Lord,
Please take care of Nastia. Please put someone in her life who can tell her about You. Please help her feel Your love when she is lonely, or sad, or sick. Please whisper in her ear as she sleeps each night..."I love you, Nastia...and so does your American Mom."
In Jesus Name,
Amen
