songs of solitude;

a new dawn

and just when life seems to feign feelings of doubt and intrepidation...

there comes a new dawn.

Esmeralda's files came in the mail yesterday. i go to Sick Kids tomorrow to deliver them. everything is in God's hands. i pray that they accept her. such surgery would literary change the shape of her future. being able to walk in a country/economy/society ill-equipped to provide opportunity to those that can't makes a world of difference.

but no matter the outcome, i feel that Esmy has all the support she will ever need. her family will be her legs. and God will be her steps.
