I said, "God, I hurt." And God said, "I know." I said, "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That's why I gave you tears." I said, "God, life is hard sometimes." And God said, "That's why I gave you loved ones." I said, "God, my loved one died." And God said, "So did mine." I said, "God, it is such a loss." And God said, "I watched mine nailed to a cross." I said, "But God, your loved one lives." And God said, "So does yours." I said, "God, where are they now?" and God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the light." We love you mom, we'll miss you, we'll see you in heaven.
