Matt and Dyana have been acquainted since they were young, and their feelings for each other have become more intense as time has passed. A delightful youngster named Luella has now been a member of their family after they were married.
Dyana recently posted a picture on Facebook of herself relaxing close to their daughter, which was shot by her husband. The accompanying story is so captivating that reading it gave me chills. I hope it will have a similar effect on you as it has on me.
We just found out about it then since our daughter Luella was screaming a lot due to her first teeth coming in. To help her unwind, I sat next her, and before long we were both dozing off.
When I woke up, Matt was already at home. He seemed worried, and tears filled his eyes. Though I was first concerned, he quickly reassured me that everything was OK; he had simply grown enthusiastic.
He became aware of his deep affection for us when he seen me with our child. We accidentally brought up a tale that our pastor had already shared with us.
We would leave Luella at home on one of those days and go to church. We encountered the clergyman after the worship, and he recounted an event he observed in an orphanage in Uganda.
As a missionary, he traveled to boarding schools and orphanages worldwide, but the Ugandan institution had a distinct feel. Upon entering the large room filled with around 100 cribs, where the newborns were located, he was amazed by the profound quiet.
In a place like this, it would be reasonable to anticipate hearing someone weeping, yet there was absolute stillness.
The priest will always remember the answer he received when he asked why all the children were behaving strangely. The youngsters arrive to the orphanage all crying loudly. He shouts in agony and calls out to his parents for help. However, after a week, everyone calms down. I comprehend that they are no longer required and there is no one to offer them solace.
The children’s quietness is a sign of their inward sorrow. The children know that nobody will come to get them, and there is a chance that they may never arrive.
This news really surprised us. We promised to never ignore the cries of our children again. I will provide Luella with solace even if I am tired, even if she is complaining in the middle of the night.
When Matt saw Luella and me in the cradle, he understood everything without speaking. He made the food while I was sleeping. He took hold of me and said, “I adore you more than anything on this planet,” as I woke up.
