I've come to expect that life doesn't play favorites nor are we the center of it. Wee ensue viruses inhabiting this earth. From loss either comes gain or misery. My heart aches, but I've learned to cherish the moments I have here and love my fellow species, because nothing we do is immortal - why not enjoy life for what it has to offer you? Friends and success will come and go, but self determination is what really matters
