Your post touched my heart deeply.
My son passed away at 19, in 2,000. his best friend was driving. The only comfort I can offer is that when someone dies at a young age, they are relieved from many of the struggles and dissapointments we all seem to endure. At least they won't be worrying about these new taxes and unemployment rates.( humor; - my coping skill) I ramble, but so does my lonely heart.
We buried one of my daughter's life long friends (28 years old) last week. I get very tired of people saying God called the deceased home because he was needed in heaven or his time was up.. He and his wife are/were expecting their first child in about 3 months.....twin girls. I'm sorry but it just makes me so mad, God does not need him in heaven more than his wife and twins needed him here.
God would rather have him as His angel in Heaven than on earth.

This is what I think. Sometimes God just loves certain ones of us so much, he wants us with him, rather than on earth. Even if some of you don't believe it, I think its a comforting loving thought.
i think its important sometimes to put things in perspective.
don't ask why.... its just not our place!.... our kids ask us... "but so and so gets too!!!....that is not fair"
life is not fair.. we are humans put here to serve GOD... through his grace we are saved...no way else
he doesnt promise that life here will be easy.... i think he promises he will never give you more than you can handle and you can have everlasting life.
the ones left behind after tragedy/hardship/illness/whatever the problems.... will/should have a better outlook on what GOD offers!
and what life is all about...stop and smell the roses (or chick poo)... dont miss opportunities to make someones else s life better...etc.
it will be hard raising twins.... but she will have twins (that is a blessing)
sorry just couldnt pass the post up with out my 2 cents

I think that's just something people say to try and make themselves feel better about a very senseless death.
Katy, I say it because it is what I believe. Not to comfort, not to blow smoke, but because it is what I truly believe with all my heart.
I don't want to get the Op's thread shut down so this is going to be the last I post on here, but do you really truly believe that god needed another angel worse than those innocent babies needed a loving daddy here on earth? I don't think so.
