Life is not always fair...

I must give a small (or not-so-small) story for everyone of my readers to understand the title of my post. It starts when I was a child, but please note this story is not about me...

I had these two friends. They were brother and sister. He was older than his sister by 15 months. They were very close. I was in between them in age so naturally we all bonded. We all know the story. We were friends!

Now, let us fast forward a bit. I went to high school with both of them! I saw them as they went through those formative years. They struggled a bit in the church, but came back. The sister had met a wonderful man that brought her back. The brother struggle with severe depression but always had his best friend little sister guiding him!

Then something happened to this brother. His depression became so bad, he felt there was only one way out of it. He took his own life. He left a note for his family, but his little sister didn't know about her personal note from her best friend until just before his funeral. He stated to "never feel guilty. You kept me happy longer and I got to share many years with my little sister. But you must live your life as a beautiful married woman and I can't always have you to keep me happy. No, you did nothing wrong..." (taken from the information behind her brother's death). This little sister continually mourned the lose of her best friend. She hang a picture of him over her babies crib to remind her baby that her guardian angel uncle is watching over her.

Now, fast forward to 2011. This little sister is carrying her second baby, being an amazing mommy to her other baby and being adored by a man who couldn't stay long. The man who lifted her when her big brother passed, who was her strength and motivation to raise their daughter correctly. This man passed before seeing the birth of their second baby, another girl he would adore and spoil with his two other girls.

Now, she must be stronger than ever for her precious little one and the up and coming bundle of joy. Life can be unfair to those who don't deserve it. Yet, it seems the strongest among us go through the toughest times.

This is dedicated to that little sister. She has been through more sorrow than anyone should have to endure and more happiness than anyone can imagine.

Love you girl! Let's go play hide and seek at church one more time just to take your mind off of things for a bit!
