Twenty Questions, Zero Answers

Can you believe how fast our girls have grown?
What is heaven like?
How the hell do I braid hair?
Are you proud of us?
Why didn't we think to record your voice?
How do I remember how to live for myself?
Did you know that we'd be ok?
When did you know you were going to die?
What am I not remembering?
How did you make it all look so easy?
Is it ok if I try to forget some of the bad parts now?
Could things have been different?
Did we choose the right path?
Can Cam really see you?
Where did you hide those papers I've been looking for?
Why didn't you try harder?
Was that you playing with the sprinklers at the cemetery?
Do you think I'll ever find it again?
Was there anything you didn't get to say?

Why did God need to take you away?

God's

Ways are Higher than Yours

that's the only answer I've ever had to those questions. You're an amazing father and you're doing a wonderful job. I believe when I find myself on the other side of eternity it will be clear to me why God has allowed such things to happen in our lives. I pray that God comforts you and blesses you, Frank.
