Morgan had recently moved out of the house and mom needed to replace furniture for her old room. Mom loves old, antique, and refurbished furniture and frequents shops that sell said items in downtown Joplin. Mom purchased a few unique pieces including a large trunk. Mom moved the furniture around Morgan's old room deciding what pieces would look best and where. She opened the trunk to take a peek inside. There were a few drawers that you could take out and then replace once items were stored away. As she was taking the drawers out, she noticed 1 tiny baby shoe.
Mom says it's my rainbow. My promise that a child will come. Since finding the tiny baby shoe, she's tried many times to just throw it away. There was no pair to the shoe. No reason to keep it. But she can't seem to throw it away. It's a symbol. A symbol of something to come. It's a reminder. A reminder to pray for a miracle.
And so, mom keeps the shoe and we all keep praying.
