Hope for a Weary Soul

January 26, 2016 by Megan

I knew we were in trouble as soon as I heard the sound of my daughter’s cackling laughter. When the sound of a toilet flushing joined the laughter only a heartbeat later, I was already heading toward the stairs. My daughter stopped laughing. She called out a worried “Mommy?” that was hardly reassuring. I felt […]
