While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

213 | Past "What Ifs" and Future "What Ifs" with Cody and April Quillen


Listen Later

I believe every bereaved parent asks the question, "What If ... ?".  Cody and April Quillen bring a new perspective to that question in today's episode, which is a continuation of our conversation from last week.  

If you missed last week’s episode, I encourage you to go back and listen to hear the story of their harrowing escape from Mexico when their daughter Catie experienced a health crisis during a family vacation.

Today, we pick up right where we left off last week as we discuss the twists and turns of their faith journey since that time … and I am so pleased to share it with you. 

What If?

By Cody Quillen

 What if my hurt was to help me grow

What if God’s will was for me to help those I know

What if my tears didn’t fall in vain

What if I helped others going through the same pain

What if my grief was just for a season

What if helping others gave my daughter’s death reason

What if God really could

Turn something bad into something good

What if on that day in which all my hope is placed

She hugs me, with a smile on her face

What if she says, “Dad, thank you for telling my story

And through your pain you brought our Lord glory”
