Nella's Story

Fanny Cradock

I came across this story on Don Miller's blog. (He is the guy who wrote Blue Like Jazz, which I just happened to have started reading.)

"What is the story about?", you may ask. It's a good question! Well, without giving the game away, it is the story of the birth of one woman's child. And like all good stories, it has elements of joy, love, heartache and grace. No "whys" are answered. Indeed, any possibly answers would have been utterly insufficient and unwelcome in the face of the loving response. I was suspicious of both Miller and claims that he cried after reading it. Simply put: I haven't cried in years, and I didn't expect to tonight. But I did.

(It's quite a long read, and I found Readibility an excellent tool that augmented the text size and layout)

Thanks for the link, Fanny. I found it very inspiring. It sounds like that young woman is surrounded by a lot of very sensible people.

PS. I didn't cry - but that's because I'm a heartless git.
