Unfolding Short Stories: "We prayed for her to wake up on Valentine's Day. And she did—but..."

from The Unfolding

"We prayed for her to wake up on Valentine's Day. And she did—but in heaven." Every year, Lee and Terry commemorate their daughter Amanda's passing with a homecoming celebration. In this deeply moving episode, they share the painful journey leading up to Amanda's diagnosis, the heartbreak of losing her, and how their faith was tested in unimaginable ways.  In 1985, they noticed Amanda was experiencing sickness—vomiting, headaches, and eventually struggling to walk. What seemed like minor symptoms led to a devastating discovery: a brain tumor. As they walked through grief, anger, and doubt, they encountered God's presence in ways they never expected. Their story is one of sorrow, faith, and the unlikely survival of their marriage despite overwhelming loss.  The full interview with Lee and  Terry will be featured on the Behind Our Smiles Marriage Podcast on February 18th.
