This is so hard

I long to see Doug again and hear his voice. I long to connect with him the way only he and I can connect. Why, God, is the waiting so hard? I know I have to trust you, Lord, that you have me where you want me to be now, but it is so hard. Why do I have to go through this? I can only hope that the separation from him is for both of our good. May it lead to his salvation through you, Lord. Comfort him when he needs comfort, and help him to sense your presence. If I can't see him here on earth, please, please, Lord, let us be together in Heaven with you.
