I love this song as it speaks to this grieving dad's heart. Our family had a real connection with Steven Curtis Chapman's family for two reasons: (1) both of our kids were named Maria and (2) both were adopted from other countries. There is really nothing that prepares a parent to grieve the loss of a child. It simply isn't suppose to happen this way. In time I began to lean onto the God who had given me blessings in years past and trust Him that he would see me through the pain. This song and the lyrics touched me deeply and were a reminder that heaven is a very real place and the home I am currently in is only a temporary place.
