'I remember you got in prayers and fasting for the same thing and on the third day of praying the accident happened. My love, I had not seen it coming. I was confident that God would heal you and bring you back to me. I remember on Good Friday when I saw you at the hospital and you couldn't talk, I got worried but still was holding unto faith. I got home that night and made this prayer I said, "God please heal my husband as you resurrect on Sunday please let the hospital bed not contain him give him a new skin, new kidneys and heal him to every part of his body". I saw you the next day which was a Saturday and left around 4 pm,' Ruth recounted.

She continued,

At around 8:30pm that night I felt a strange coldness in my body all of a sudden. I was at my uncle's place. They covered me and I lay on a seat for about 10 mins. I thought I was exhausted from running up and down now I know you were saying goodbye. I went on to sleep and the following morning I received a call from the hospital at around 6am that I was needed there. i'Ll BE HONEST WITH YOU, I KnEW right then that you had gone to be with the Lord. I got to the hospital and it was confirmed you went to be with the Lord on April 11 at 8:30 pm.

Adding,

B, it hurts so much. It doesn't make any sense you died while growing. At first, I thought God was so UNFAIR but later on, I remembered the prayer I made to God to heal you completely to take away the pain and to ressurect with you, I didn't mean it that way. Did I pray the wrong prayer? I'll never know. All I know is I just wanted to have you back home healed. God has answered my prayer. IT may not be the answer I expected or wanted but its what I asked for. You are no longer in pain and never ever will you be. I know you're happy wherever you are. even if I asked you to come back to me you wouldn't want to. I mean who wants to come back to a world of so much pain, a world of wearing masks coz of corona.

As hard as it has been my love, I have accepted God's will, it doesn't make sense now but I'm certain it will someday. He's not a wicked God. By the grace of God I'll continue with the ministry we had started coz I know you'll want me to.
