In less than a month 3 people I have known have passed away. My nana who was blessed with a long life, Nathan and Jessica who were both taken too young.
I am 24 years old and I can't help but feel like those around me keep dying. Nathan wasn't even 2 and Jessica is leaving behind a wonderful man and a beautiful daughter. How is it fair that Christina will never see her son walk, or even hold him in her arms again? How is it fair or just that Jada will never hug her mom again or have her there on her wedding day?
I've always said that everything happens for a reason, that those that are so cruelly taken from us too soon served their purpose, and that we should not be angry. Even I feel like a hypocrite for saying thos because all I feel is angry. I'm angry that James is gone, killed in action. I'm angry that no one could do anything for Nathan and I'm angry that Jessica never had a fighting chance.
I'm 24 and I still don't know how to handle the news of death. I don't even like the word "death". Every time I just kind of sit there and stare at whatever method it is I found out...like my phone or facebook.
I don't think anyone will ever make sense of death and I don't think it will ever be less shocking when it happens.
