Why do some people have it so hard and why are others having a rocking time and how does God fit into the whole situation? It's a tough one, and it's good to know that there are sage and kindred spirits out there asking these same questions. I'm so sorry for you and your friends who have lost their loved ones.

Kids really have it figured out. They live in the moment. As an adult, we have to make an effort to recapture that spirit instead of letting all of the "grown-up" responsiblities rob of us precious time. Great post! Kids really have it figured out.

He was only 47 and my brother and I just teens. I still ask "why" sometimes, even after all these years. <em>Erin's last blog post..<a href='http://www.flickr.com/photos/erin6464/2772957224/' rel="nofollow">DSC03575</a></em> I’m reading this on the 11th anniversary of my dad’s death.

I lost a sister when she was 17. I was 15. It was, at the time Hoover's worst traffic fatality. It was back in '87. Three young women and one young man died. A documentary was made about the accident entitled "Tomorrow Is Not Promised". I think the title says quite a bit. I have to try and always have the enternal perspective about things. It is never easy to say goodbye. I now live in a neighboring "tiny kindom" and your blog brightens my day. Thanks. Anne,

I'll think of you tomorrow, when I'll probably be the one sitting in the room with the service piped in. Hope I'll have some nice companions there.

I'm so sorry for the losses your friends have experienced. I hope you will feel God's loving presence during this time.
