Morgan went on share how his family experienced God’s grace in the midst of such suffering. “Like gold at the bottom of a deep dark well,” he said. “There was and is evidence of God’s grace in this utter tragedy, we just had to be willing to plumb the depths to see it.”
Entering their house for the first time since the accident, Morgan described how hard it was for them to walk across the threshold without Lucy. One of Lucy’s siblings told the family that the house is “the worst place on earth” and said they wanted “to go back to the hospital with Lucy.”
Silas and Shiloh, Lucy’s other siblings, “asked how we could ever be happy again.”
Morgan said that the family sat on the front steps of the house for “a while while crying until I finally mustered up the courage to open the door.”
“We again collapsed in a pile on the kitchen floor crying harder as a family than we ever have,” he added.
“In that darkness, prompted I believe by the Spirit, I finally asked, ‘What do you guys think Lucy would want us to be doing,'” Morgan shared. “They thought about it, and said that she’d ask me to play a game on the Apple TV called ‘Oceanhorn 2.'”
Morgan replied that Lucy would have said it like “Oceanhawwwwrn” because she mispronounced her R’s. This made the family laugh, prompting their child AJ to say Lucy is probably in “heaven asking God to play” the game right now—causing them to all laugh some more.
“God’s goodness and mercy were following us,” said Morgan. “Even there on the kitchen floor as our pressure cooker of deep grief burst out the release valve into hilarity and joy.”
He concluded his post by sharing the reassurance his family felt knowing that Lucy gave her life to Jesus—something about which Morgan had been experiencing doubts, because he wasn’t present when his daughter recently prayed to ask Jesus into her heart.

“Despite my conviction that she is still young and possibly can’t understand, and that she had the faith of a mustard seed, Bethany still couldn’t shake the fear and doubt,” Morgan shared.
