Yes, it's very touching. I pinged you because I have often heard you say the same thing(s):

'I picked it up and turned to 2 Cor.4:16-18 and read, ‘Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For the momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.’ That is what got me through the ordeal.”

'... Bunny told of her dark moments as though that should have never happened yet those few minutes seemed the best of the few hours that we had together, the opening up of the soul to others, so necessary at times yet so difficult, well at least to me it is. In a small way we were experiencing the trial with her as well as thinking of our own past.

'One does not necessarily have to have a long life to have lived through dark moments. They do come to all of us in varying degrees and circumstances. At that point we have few options—deny the reality—accept it and decide that we can handle it—receive it not as our choice perhaps but as a gift from God in the knowledge that He is working out all things for our good.'
