love so much; that she didn’t want me to grieve but wanted me to be happy like she was; that she wasn’t away for good, but would come to me and talk to me any time that God would let her; that I shouldn’t cry any more, for she would kiss away all tears and hurts, just as I did for her when she was with me.

And as time went on, my grief lessened and I grew to look forward to the little talks she would have with me. One day I told a friend about it, and she seemed very glad that I understood, for she believed in spirit return, although she had never mentioned it to me.

So one day while in the Silence I laid this burden also at His feet, and would you believe it I heard Him answer:

“My dear child, I your God, do not separate loved ones; I join them together. And what I join together no one has the
