““Answers...God knows, I've begged for them," Gail mused. "I'm beginning the think sometimes there are no answers. I'm beginning to think sometimes there's only grief...and comfort. I think some answers will have to wait till we're in Heaven, asking Jesus face to face why we encountered the things we did." Scott sighed. "Easier said than done."
