Answers in Time

Dawn Todd 1967 (Michigan)

Why couldn't I have children?
Why couldn't I have a lasting relationship?
Why couldn't I find a good steady job?
Why did I move away from my ill mother?
These were the questions I had for 9 years.
The answer to all these questions came almost 3 years ago.
I first moved out of state.
I found my life long partner.
I have a good steady job.
I now have 2 children that came from an abusive home.
They are here to stay.
God gives you all answers in time.
