This morning started like any other. Woke up. Checked my email, checked the news on the internet. Saw a car accident had happened at an intersection that i used to go through all the time in my old neighbourhood. Relaxed a little when i realised it didnt fit the mold of any of my friends who lived around there. Woman, 3 kids... went about my day. Important stuff like dying my hair, figuring out what to have for dinner.
Then tonight.... a phone call from a friend i have known for 30 odd years. His sister. The sister who has buried their mother, had her house burn down and buried her husband. All in the last 5 years. His sister... Woman, 3 kids. Tonight she lays in a hospital bed beside her 8 year old who is suffering internal bleeding. Today she kissed her 5 year olds beautiful face for the last time.
Tonight i sit here and contemplate all the things i THOUGHT were urgent or important and i cant come up with a single thing. Talking to her brother i lay on the floor sobbing. What has this poor woman done to deserve this? When will she be given a break? Hasn't God taken enough? Hasnt she shown her devotion and steadfast loyalty to God? Why does he need more??When will it be enough?
Why is it the innocent and faithful that have to pay and pay? Why do the ones who treat their kids as punching bags or worse allowed to continue on this earth? WHY???
I'm mad, i'm distraught. I'm in shock. this can't be happening to her again....
IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!
