Life is a hard is to understand sometimes. I don't understand it. I mean, I understand that we all have to die at some point because -- that's life. I just don't understand why we live to die. Why is life so great, why do we meet so many great people, our families, our friends, all our loved ones... just to leave them behind and hurt when we die. No one wants to die, no one wants anyone to die... but that's life.
When people die...life goes on. The loved ones hurt, they cry, and they are in pain...but they go on. That's how it's supposed to happen. When someone dies work goes on, parties go on, trips go on, people keep having fun...the world doesn't stop for anyone. This bothers me. I love life... I love living. I don't want to miss out on anything. I don't want life to go on without me. I don't want to stop living life.
Last night, a friend of our family passed away. My mom and this woman were long time friends and she was not very much older than my mom. She was the nicest woman in the world... good to everyone, kind, honest, hardworking, loving...all the great qualities we should all have but lack sometimes. I don't know all the details but she was diabetic and had a very unexpected sudden problem. My mom had talked to her a couple of days ago and she had plans to come to our house this weekend. This is why it is so hard to understand. She was fine... perfectly fine two days ago... and now suddenly she is gone. Life is unfair and cruel because she left behind a husband, a son and daughter, and 4 grandchildren all under the age of 10 who need her here. Death is always harder when it is unexpected and when people are young. She was truly a wonderful person and will be dearly missed.
