"These shoes are for church... whenever we go back there."
"These shoes are for church... whenever we go back there." These words pierced my heart when Essie said them to me as we walked, hand in hand, back from checking the mail on a Tuesday afternoon. We haven't been to church together since like, March? I don't even remember. I wish I did. Had I known it would be the last week of normal church I would have really embraced it. Taken more pictures. Something....To even just be aware that, "hey! This is the last time you will walk Essie down to rainbows. Ever. The last time you'll sit in church with your husband and all your kids be in the nurseries/class, etc" That is HARD. I'm going to just be so totally straight here. I hate that everything Esther should have been able to enjoy fully has been cut short. In the most abrupt and invasive way. She never got to finish Rainbows officially. She got videos sent over by messenger (which we were so thankful for btw)...but No friends. No teacher. No crafts. Nothing...
