That night I couldn’t sleep. I just tossed and turned on my bed and wondered where God was. I wanted to awaken from this living nightmare where nothing seemed right. As if sensing my frustration, Anna fussed in her cot and I got up to cuddle her. I was surprised when Ike came out …
I was irritated as I heard the incessant knocking on my front door. It was Christy. The last person I expected or wanted to see at this time as I filled in my job applications online. “I’m busy Christy,” I said cutting her off. I really wasn’t in the mood. She gave me a sad …
I cut the phone and tried to edge my way past Christy into the house. I was holding Anna in my arms. She tapped my arm. “Not now Christy,” I snapped. She was taken aback. “Look, I’m sorry,” I said apologetically. “There are a lot of things I need to do right now.” She smiled …

What do you do after your safe secure world has come crashing down? Well, you get up and keep going. And that was what I had decided to do. Ike’s news was terrible and that first night I had a horrible nightmare that the police came to arrest him. He woke up and we prayed …
Unfortunately, I wasn’t the only one who saw Titi’s tear stained face the previous day.
