The Universe Sucks
I don't really believe in God as the Christians do, but I do believe there is some higher power in the universe. I can't give it any more description than that because I just don't have one. All I know is that because of that "power," everything happens for a reason. That's my motto in life: "Everything happens for a reason." And usually, I can figure out why, if not at the moment something happens, then sometime later, even much later.
But I'm having a really hard time figuring this one out. I just found out that two of my friends have cancer that they will soon die of. I won't say any more detail about them than that since I know for a fact one of them doesn't want anyone else to know about it. The other, some people know, but I'll let that party be the one to divulge any more info. The only thing else I can say is that one of these people is very close to my heart and it's breaking knowing that they don't have very much time left at all. The other person might have more time, but not much more.
Seems like whenever things happen, they happen in threes. That seems to be the universal number. Don't ask me why, it just is. So it's like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak, trying to figure out if there's going to be a third person to announce that they have a terrible cancer. I'm afraid to say more than that for fear that speculating might make it true.
The thing I really wonder about is why this kind of thing doesn't happen to criminals and really bad people. It happens to really sweet and good people like my friends. Maybe there isn't a reason or maybe we're not meant to see the reason why. Maybe it's all just part of nature. Whatever it is, it sucks.
I'm pretty speechless right now, having found out yesterday that cancer is going to take my very close friend and then today that it will take yet another friend. It's making me really dread tomorrow's arrival.
Addendum: On second thought, maybe this is the other shoe dropping since my friend from Quicken Loans, Jarrett, died in January of colon cancer. I kind of hope that's true so I don't have any more friends dying of cancer.
