Life can be unfair
I just learned of the death of a girl that I went to high school with. I probably haven't seen this girl for 15 years but I still remember her. She was only 32 and died a few weeks ago of a very rare cancer. Here I am complaining about not being able to get out of the house with my two sick kids and how they are driving me crazy when someone who is only a year older than me battled cancer for a year and a half and lost. She left behind two small children ages 2 and 4. I think about how I just need a break from my twins because they are so much work but how I bet Lara wished she had just one more hour, one more minute, one more second with her angels before she died. Life can be so unfair sometimes. Children should not have to grow up without mothers and mothers should not have to leave their children behind. I should, however, learn to be grateful for each hour, each minute, each second I get to wipe snotty noses and rock crying babies. Not everyone gets to be so lucky, how unfair life can be.
