The innocent faith of a child is heart wrenching and inspirational all at once. There she was holding her phone against her ear and her sweet voice rang out, "Hi, Baba, how are you? I love you. Say hi to God." Then a few moments later after she had me talk to Baba, she said, "I love you. Watch over us. Good bye." My heart swelled and my eyes filled with tears. The innocent faith of a child. The purity of her trust, that her Baba is safe and strong in Heaven with God. I cried that day, that moment, but I was also so proud of Ariyana's love. In her own way she was expressing that she missed Hamid and wanted to talk with him, yet she seemed to know he was ok. I know Hamid somehow felt this surge of love. It is a memory that I will hang on to and find strength in as I try to uphold the simple faith of a child.

You will all need to hold onto that faith to get through losing such a wonderful person in your lives. I think God is using Ariyana to show us all what real faith is and reminding us that our tears and pain is real, but that Hamid is safe and there with you always. How simple that he is just a phone call away! Thank you for such a beautiful message Ari! XO,Dana
