Do I know why God let cancer take the life of my dear friend? No. I have no idea, and I am so sad that I won't get any more letters from her, or be able to visit over a cup of tea. I do not know why God let that happen. Then, what do I know? I know that God's ways are completely unfathomable. I know that His ways are higher than my ways. This is what the Bible says, and this is what I know to be true. Therefore, I am perplexed but do not despair.
I miss my friend exceedingly, yet the overwhelming joy and gratitude I feel at having had the opportunity to be her friend far surpasses the sorrow I feel.
Bible references: Romans 11:33, Isaiah 55:8 and Romans 12:12

Oh, my sweet friend! Well said - I went through the exact same thought/feeling process (is that even the way to state it - it's far deeper than that) after my mom went to be with the Lord. My heart is still right there, 11.5 years later - the sorrow from missing all of those wonderful little things about and with her, overshadowed by the joy of the knowledge that she stands perfect and at ultimate joy and peace before our Creator, to whom she can give perfect worship and praise!
I love you and am continuing to pray for you!
Amen
I know how much you miss her, and I'm sorry. I have such wonderful memories of the friends I've lost over the years...it still hurts to think of the loss, but is a comfort to know what they have gained. Would my friends want to come back? I don't think so! And some day...the reunion we will have! :)))
