If There's One Thing I've Learned Over the Years,

     It's that God won't answer a prayer if the unthinkable has already happened.

     It says in the Bible that Jesus was able to raise the dead, so why wouldn't He raise Daddy?  Why would He take him away?  He had two little girls and a wife to care for; he couldn't die.  I wouldn't accept it.  He wasn't dead. 

     I wiped away my tears and refused to let myself shed another one.
 
     This was all a lie.  It had to be.

     My Daddy wasn't dead.
