I will always try to be as close as possible. Nothing suprises God what puzzles us is permitted by our Lord for reason too profound for us to grasp, I will not doubt,fear, blame or question. he took you who was so significant to us he sais cease striving and know that I am God. I am so happy you went with  the right spirit
