If there was a God, I mused silently, this was the time to enter her life, to thank her for selflessly loving her family, raising her children to become respectable, worthwhile, productive human beings. At night, I had long conversations with Him. One afternoon I even entered a church and spoke directly to the cross. “God, where are You?” I asked bitterly. “Can You hear me at all? Do You even exist? My mother was a clean, dedicated, hardworking woman. What do You plan on doing for her now that she really needs You?” But there was no answer. No sign.
