Some mornings demand more than coffee. Today we open a tender letter from a father to his daughter, Bristol—a child whose life carried deep beauty alongside relentless suffering—and we sit with the kind of love that keeps showing up when nothing is easy. The story moves from first words and birthday joy to hospital rooms, long drives in the night, and the ache of never hearing “Daddy, I love you.” Through every turn, the father’s refrain is steady: I loved you. He says that love wasn’t manufactured by endurance alone; it was placed in his heart by God.We talk about how real love looks in the grit of daily care: feeding slowly, changing diapers for years, holding a hurting body, and praying when anger rises and faith feels thin. The letter doesn’t pretend grief is light. It names the pain, then lifts our eyes toward a larger promise—the vision of Bristol free and whole, a reunion ahead, and a crown before the coffin. That hope frames mourning without rushing it, allowing tears and trust to stand side by side.To anchor that hope, we turn to Psalm 34: a voice that praises through fear, seeks help and finds an answer, and promises that the angel of the Lord surrounds those who tremble and trust. If you’re grieving, you’ll find simple, steady steps here—short prayers when words fail, a community to lean on, and a way to carry both memory and expectation. If you’re walking with someone who mourns, you’ll hear how to show up without speeches and hold space that heals.If this spoke to you, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review so others can find hope when they need it most.We would love to hear your comments.
