I want you to know something. She nods, but she closes…
““I want you to know something. She nods, but she closes her eyes as though she wants to focus on my voice and nothing else. When my mom died, I stopped believing in God. She lays her head on her arms and keeps her eyes shut. I didnt think God would make someone go through that much physical pain. I didnt think God would make someone suffer like she suffered. I didnt think God was capable of making someone go through something so ugly. A tear falls from Rachels closed eyes. But then I met you, and every single day since then, Ive wondered how someone could be so beautiful if there wasnt a God. Ive wondered how someone could make me so incredibly happy if God didnt exist. And I realized … just now … that God gives us the ugliness so we dont take the beautiful things in life for granted.””
