I don't understand why bad things happen but my theory is that it is to mold us and shape us and create in us character and strength. I have been through many many valleys...and all I do know is that what goes down must come up again and visa versa...and in the mean time - we always had what we needed to survive...that doesn't mean we have posh apartments or live at the Ritz Carlton in Double Bay - but we have a food, shelter, and clothing and we met wonderful people who helped us through those terrible dark and lonely times....

It still gets dark, but it will never be as dark as it was during that period in my life, and I can almost bet the same will hold true for you.

You don't have to be religious to have faith in something greater than you that's in control of all things....

I believe there is a reason for the madness....

BUT

it doesn't ease the pain of our suffering.

Love and Peace...
