There is a certain irony to life. Not that this is a surprise....I have known this all along. But I find it ever present in my life right now.
While my year thus far has been filled with many positives - new lives entering this world, much more financial security for my husband and I, my near finish to my college education, and so on, I'm also faced with sad events.
My day took a sad turn this morning when I was told that one of our old coworkers (and an old friend of my husbands) was killed two days ago in a hit and run. Such a tragic end to life, especially for someone who had just risen above amazing struggles.
There are so many things I will never understand about life. Why do good people die, and bad people live? Why would someone who has just come into remission from brain cancer - someone who was just given a new lease on life, be killed crossing an Orlando road by a complete stranger...someone who didn't even have the courage to stop? I know that unfortunate events happen every day....and I don't really question them, but I don't know that I will ever understand why they happen.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this tragedy. God rest his soul.
