The Good Needs to be Said

When sad news comes I want to say something positive.

I regret sharing the news yesterday, because it is so shocking.  I regret how it must hurt others and not just me.  I hope that getting some answers helps put some things to rest, instead of making things worse.

My friend Elena is a wonderful girl.  I can still see her clearly in my heart like she were here right now.  I don't understand how something like this happened.  When I went to the courthouse yesterday, I tried to be prepared.  As soon as a lawyer talked to me I couldn't help but cry.  I am still confused and still sad.

I was with her at her house often.  She made me coffee.  She was so kind!!  She would offer me something to eat and would dote on me and apologize for any shortcoming which I never felt.  She got ready in the bathroom with me.  She talked about clothes with me.  We did chores around the house together.  I liked those times.

I can remember the good well enough.  I don't think it's fair.  I am proud to share her pictures.  She deserves to be honored.  That's just my feelings.  I know everyone is different.

This life is not all there is.  I am glad that God has her in His hand.  The same God who started the universe in the Big Bang is the same one who said, "I give them eternal life. They will never die, and no one will snatch them from my hand." (John 10:28).  My friend is in the hand of God, and she is in Good Hands.
