What if you changed that fear and said, 'It's going to work out the way it's supposed to?' I'm going to hope for the best and I'm going to let go. How does that feel? Can you control it? You didn't cause it. You can't fix it. You pray to whoever it is that you personally, a loved one has.

And I'm going to trust.'
