I got the worst news today. One of my very best friend's lost her husband this week. That is terrible enough on its own, but the worst part is he hung himself. He called her and told her he was going to do it and by the time the police got there, he was gone. My friend is still in shock, but she is already feeling the anger and guilt that comes along with such an enormous tragedy.
To compound this tragedy, her baby sister has cancer. She has been battling cancer for years and days before her husband took his own life they found out her sister's cancer has spread to her brain. So, this 30 year old woman who is full of life and fighting for her every breath has just been given a much higher mountain to climb, while another person thought so little of his life that he ended it himself.
We just take so much for granted. I mean if my friend's sister can get cancer in her 20's then none of us are in the clear, yet we take so much for granted. We take people, time, and love for granted. As much as we like to think we are in control, at a moment's notice it can all be gone.
