All that love could do was done

I received a card in the mail yesterday from a nurse case worker who worked for Steve's insurance company. I only knew her through phone conversations, but we did have several long talks. She was so kind, and I enjoyed those conversations. I remember talking with her shortly after Steve died, and she was so sorry to hear about it. It was especially meaningful to me that over three months later, she is still thinking of me and sent this card. The timing couldn't have been more perfect! I had an awfully lonely weekend, and the card came on Saturday. Here is the verse from the card. "Why? That's what we ask. The truth is, we may never be able to know for sure why. But we do know that there is no single 'should have done' or 'could have done' or 'did' or 'didn't do' that would have changed that why. All that love could do was done." I am easily tempted to go down that road of "should have" or "could have" but I try not to. I know better, but it is still tempting. This card really was perfect! "All that love could do was done."
