THREE

Three little girls…I knew them from afar but they were such a part of my heart. I loved them but had never hugged them…it mattered not because soon they came and my world was forever changed…I held them, talked to them, clothed them, fed them and my life was better for loving them.

Now…as I watch as their hearts are breaking…again, I am afar…but they each now hold a piece of my heart in the palm of a hand I have held. As their lives are forever changed my love for them remains.

I will not dwell on the devastation, but on the healing of the hearts breaking. Time heals the wounds that pierce the soul…but will we ever know the toll taken on three little girls…
