I often have to stop and ask, why? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do flowers die before they should? Why does cancer exist? I am still waiting for answers. Nothing yet.
Tonight I was on the phone with someone very dear to me. He is going through an U-G-L-Y divorce and I find that I just want to "punch out" his soon to be ex wife. And it reminds me of so many things that happen to good people. I think of Hanna. She was 6, yes, SIX, years old when she died. My heart hurt more than it has ever hurt before. I remember holding her mother in my arms as she begged me to let her go with her daughter. I have never had something so horrible happen in my whole life.
Then I have friends going through divorces no one should have to endure and I think, "why"? Why do such fabulous people have to endure such pain? None of it makes sense for me.
So, dear Universe, I ask, "why"?
I'll wait for the ever profound answer.
