Life isn't supposed to be fair, I know that.
And not everything has a reason.
We never questioned why a child is born silent. We never questioned why a friend didn't come home from battle. We never questioned why one terra is stricken by storm...and the others remain untouched.
But this...surpasses all reason. All sensibility.
For us to lose was bad enough...
But for all of them to die?
Every last one?
Leaving only me?
I ask the heavens for an explanation. What good would taking them all do?
One reason, is all I ask.
I fall to my knees and beg.
I don't need you to bring them back...just take me with them. I don't ask for you to give me proof...just give me a reason.
OOO
A/N: Something tragic happened at my mom's office today. One of her friends, only forty years of age, had a seizure and fell into a coma. The worst part is, she was eight months pregnant. They managed to do a cesarean and get the baby out, but the little girl will most likely grow up without a mother.
I don't usually pray, but tonight, I do. I pray that that baby's mom will wake up and be able to watch her daughter grow up, like my mom was able to. Sometimes, things happen brutally, without obvious reason, and we wonder if the world is cruel for a purpose, or if things just happen randomly.
