Sometimes we just can't understand why these things happen -- we can only trust that God is good, and that ultimately the horrible things will be made right. I can't imagine what you went through with this; just that your actions throughout her life honored God.
What a beautiful verse. My heart goes out to Philangelus. Please take comfort in knowing this is only a temporary separation. I lost my dear father on New Years Eve and that's the one thought that keeps me strong.
My favorite verses.
'And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
Rita, this is beautiful. Philangelus is a friend of mine who went through a difficult experience -- you can read her story by linking back from her signature above to her website (it's a few links)
