Hope Abides

<p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>On August 15 2014 I received a phone call that would forever change my life. My husband of 19 years Larry and only child nine-year-old Landon had just died in a plane crash. This is my survival story. I say survival because at times I thought I would die of a broken heart. Although this story is the raw vulnerable truth of grief my survival is anchored in hope and faith that was shaken to its core. God met me right where I was and walked with me on the most difficult and burdensome journey of my life. My prayer is that my story helps pave the path for others who are on this difficult journey of surviving grief.  </span></p><p class=ql-align-justify></p><p class=ql-align-justify><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>About the Author:</strong></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Charlotte was born and raised in north Texas until moving to Houston in 1995 after marrying Larry.
