bummed out big time

Well, this is nothing more than a chance for me to talk about what's bothering me. I just found out my favorite ( I can say that on here ) Aunt has colon and liver cancer. She is going to have a colon resection this week, and start chemo soon. I am so sad. This is a lady that has never said or done a bad thing to anyone. A lady that has devoted the last 10 years of her life caring for her mentally ill daughter. A lady that put aside her dreams of being a nurse back then to raise her three kids. I admire her kindness and her love for others. She has a gentle spirit. So why do these things happen to such wonderful people??????? Thanks for listening....just need lots of hugs right now and prayers for her.

((Hugs))) I know what you mean. In the 80's my mom was dx with esophageal cancer with mets to her liver. She was never in the hospital except to give birth to her three daughters. She took care of my dad with his dx of IDDM who eventually lost his eyesight and multiple complications. She survived my sister/her daughter's passing from pancreatic cancer at the age of 21. Now it was her turn to suffer? Sometimes it's just not fair.

sometimes it's hard to understand why certain things happen. many times we'll never know. but i just have to get comfortable knowing the One who knows.
