My Question For God

Comment from Begin Again
Okay, I am crying, and my heart is breaking again for you. I could see myself writing a similar letter, asking for an answer but knowing it's not right to ask. As a mother...that's what you do! We have questions, and we have empty arms that want to hold our children; I hope his heart is big enough to understand our pain, even if he can't give us the answers. Sending all my love to you, April.
Smiles, hugs, and prayers to give you strength...

Thank you for understanding. I would love to know why he took all my boys. I have had trouble maintaining faith since my last son was killed. Thank you for the six stars.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh, my friend, I am so, so sorry! I remember reading one of your essays in past about this devastating loss. I wish I could say something, ANYTHING that would offer you comfort, but there are no words. Three!!!
You must message me and tell me your real name so I can pray for you, and for the repose of your three sons' souls. ("Dear God" indeed!!! Good luck in the contest.)

Comment from Teri7
This is a very well written entry for the Dear God contest. I truly can't imagine how you felt then or now, We may not know a lot of things on this earth, but someday when we make it to Heaven I am sure He will answer all our questions. When I think about the death of my only sister It broke my heart into a million pieces. I could not understand why He took her and left me here. All I know is that He has a perfect plan for each of our lives. If we just give over to Him and let Him have His way we will see His perfect plan play out. We never know if God is saving our loved ones for a better life with Him. That is what helped me to get through. I know I will see her again some day and you will see your sons too. Just hang in there sweet friend. love and blessings, Teri

Thank you for sharing your tragic story with me. I know I'm not the only one who has had tragedy in their life. It just that it seemed a bit much to lose all three and leave me with no children. I honestly would love to know why. Perhaps I could see things in a different light if I had the answer to my question. Thank you for the six stars, too.
Comment from Monica Chaddick
Your story breaks my heart. I would like to say that I am in awe of your strength. I had a friend with 2 daughters. She lost 1 of them, and literally lost her mind. I am estranged from 1 of my daughters, but at least I know that there is a chance that I may see her again in this life. You wrote your story well, and I can imagine that it was very hard to do. Take comfort in the fact that your boys are awaiting you and you WILL see them again.

Thank you for your kind words and understanding. I thought I might lose my mind with the death of each of my sons. Somehow, I have survived all these years. Thank you for the six stars, tool
Comment from lyenochka
I'm so sorry and I have no words and completely understand how each son's death would weaken your faith, so a testing like Job's doesn't make any sense either. But back to Job, which has such a bizarre intro with the evil one whining (he's the whiner, not you!) that God protected Job too much, and requests permission to attack Job. All the horrors and griefs I see in the world, I see due to the work of evil forces and our fallen world. In Heaven, we'll get our answers and will probably find there were so many more events that we were protected from that we never knew. Great letter and best wishes in this contest!

Thank you and thanks for your interesting outlook about happenings in our lives. It gives me something to think about. I have asked why all these years but you have shown me a different point of view.

Big and Tight Hugs from one mom to another.
Comment from Lindsey Russell
This is a beautiful piece. I felt every part of it! I can't imagine losing a child. We have all asked God "why" for some personal reason in our tumultuous lives. Great job. If this is a true story then I hope that you find the peace you seek.

Thank you. Unfortunately, every word I wrote is true. I would love to know why all this happened before I die.
Comment from jessizero
I am so sorry for the losses you described in this letter. This piece was heartbreaking, though it was told well. I think we all would question God after such things. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Dear God contest. Your story is well-written and absolutely heart-breaking. There are times in life when keeping faith seems impossible and if I had to live through loss like that I am not sure that my faith would have survived. That is such a sweet picture you posted with your story as well. Very good luck in the contest.
