Almost a Year

Dear God,

I know you're busy, especially this time of year. And tomorrow is your birthday and you probably have a million places to be. I just need a minute if you can spare it.

Why are people so cruel? It's been 363 days since you called my brother home. Several attempts at contact with my family have produced nothing. I have no clue how or why he died. Is it so much to ask for closure? It's been almost a year of not knowing. Will I ever know? And even if I do, will it matter?

Could You at least help me stop crying? That would be a huge help.

Thanks for listening... You always do.
