When Bad Things Happen to Good People

I got a lot of bad news this week. Everyone in my house is happy and healthy as can be expected. Friends and family however are suffering. I am grateful that I am removed enough to be objective. I can see the up side and count the blessings, but I am close enough to them to feel compassion. I wish I could protect my love ones from pain, but I know that that fast forward button I've longed for so often recently doesn't exist. I know everyone who's struggling through hard situations right now has a strong support network. I am happily a member of that network in all cases.

They are facing difficult medical situations, devastating accidents and significant changes in their lives. I am proud of the courage they have all shown. I am so glad they all have an optimistic view of the future dispute their current circumstances. You are all super heroes. I love you and I'll be here for whatever you need. Be strong! Just keep swimming.
