Life isn't always fair... we've all heard this expression millions of times, but why isn't it? Shouldn't it be that if you play by the rules you get a fair chance?

Four months ago we endured one of the most difficult things I've ever experience in my life. We were told my mom was battling cancer. I made a promise right there and then that no matter what it took for her to be back to normal I would take those steps and as we thought we were getting answers and getting closer to resolving these things we are back to square one. After a major surgery and going through the process of "healing" we thought she was on her way to recovery.

Last night was a terrible night for me, on my 24th birthday I spent the entire day worried and depressed. I wanted nothing more than to leave my job and sit at the hospital all day with her. It breaks my heart that she spends nights alone. Although my faith in God will never change, because I know He will always be by our sides. I just can't help to understand why this to a women who lived her life helping others, a women who would take her shirt off her own back to give to a stranger, a women who instills so much great values in her children.....

As I drove home last night my mind was literally blank and my heart was broken. I got home to my 6 year old who ran to me to give me a hug and I quickly realize how much people take life for granted. He handed me a small piece of a card stock from The Game of Life and as I took it from his small hands it made me want to break down and cry. I yarn for a sense of "normalcy" in our lives and I pray that she recovers.
