My Thanksgiving Hallelujah

by Molly Huggins | Nov 15, 2017 | Army Life, Faith, Fear, Grief, Hope, Thankful

We’d been married 205 days when my body failed my first (un)born. We’d been apart for 148 of those days. My soldier left in the fall, in the brilliance of the dying leaves. He left, and I was pregnant and blissfully naive in the way you can only be when you...

Wonderful, merciful Savior. June marked what would have been the 11th birthday of our first babe and the 38th birthday of my best friend. Both were heaven bound within three months of each other, eleven and half long years past. For all of 2006, I was overwhelmed with...
