My dog died a couple months ago. She was old and tired. It was a sad day for us. It seems that for the past 5 years, things just haven been going well for me. The fire at my Dad’s business, the loss of our newborn, another difficult pregnancy for my wife, my mother-in-law’s cancer. I’m thankful to even be on this earth, but it would be nice to not have to worry every time things start going well for me.
I’m currently facing the impending death of my wonderful mother-in-law who has been battling cancer for 7 years. It’s hard to try and be strong for my family and silently deal with my own emotions at the same time. It would be nice to have strong supportive friends who make an effort to be there for me. Unfortunately it seems that it doesn’t fit into their busy schedules. I know that I’m always there for them. Oh well; life goes on and I become a little wiser. I guess that sometimes the difficulties in life help highlight things that might have otherwise been masked by good times.
Life may suck sometimes, but it’s better than the alternative.
