Life simply isn't fair

[gardengirl1]

I am so angry at the universe right now. My mother is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, caring, loving people I have ever had the honor of knowing. She does not in any way deserve the pain and suffering she has had to endure lately and it just keeps coming

What you write sounds a lot like how I feel about what my sister has dealt with all her life. It seems she never, ever has gotten a break, and she never asks for or wanted that much. All I want for her is to be free of pain, free of pressure, and free to live the quiet little life she's always wanted to live. And then something else happens.

Your writing is inspirational, and I'm glad you wrote it. It reminds me not only of Angela but of my own experiences with pain that have never reached that level, but it's so easy to forget how awful it can be. So life draining. The fact that your mother keeps picking herself up and dusting herself off is a message to all of us that we can and should learn from. It's good you are sharing her story.

I hope the fact that you are able to share your feelings with others brings you much needed support and love. We're all in this together - it sounds so cliché but I'm really starting to see the ways in which we all share the same things in life, maybe not all at the same time, but at some time we all have joy and we all have terrible pain. It's not fair, no...but it is universal. It is a reason for compassion and letting go of the petty things that bother us on a daily basis.

Sending you much love.
