I hope to ask Him for an explanation (during the long not-time available in Heaven) cause it's beyond my human brain to figure Him out.

I like this reply. This is humility. It is hard to understand the reasons behind things and also hard to understand what happens in our own life. Thats why it helps to keep praying to God for guidance, and to listen to what you know is right.
