Let's face it. Life is unfair. We don't live in the movies where we stay to watch the end because we know deep down the good guys will win and the bad guys will suffer the consequences of their actions. The saddest people in the world are those who think they never get what they need. It would be nice to think that for every tragedy in your life, there's something better for you after it. The truth is there isn't. Life doesn't work that way. Sometimes the only reason why the future doesn't look so bleak is because you've reached rock bottom and nothing worse can happen to you.
Sometimes I wish I was like Job. The devil made bad things happen to him but God was there watching out, ready to step in when it got too bad. Of course what we think is bad may be a lot different from what God thinks.
When I was a child I made a deal with God. My parents were in an accident and they were in the hospital then. I asked him to never take my parents before me. That I would rather die before them than suffer because of their deaths.
I was so sure that even when my dad got lung cancer, I wasn't scared because I knew God will keep his promise.
I should have looked into the future and extended my condition to my children as well.
What happened to us was beyond our control, beyond everything we could do and that hurts more. Had I been given a choice, me or the baby, or something like spending more to have a better chance at success, everything would have been different.
If I could go back in time, I'd be a doctor instead of an engineer. I'd make sure that this never happens to anyone else.
