Was it Bill Gates who said something like "life's not fair - live with it" ?? Well I suppose that's true but I have never figured out why it is that some people who patently do not deserve it, seem to cop all the shit.
Our next door neighbours - we watched the husband die by inches as he slowly lost his battle with prostate cancer. That was 2 years ago.
The Mum started chemo for breast cancer 2 months ago and the week before last, the youngest son died when he put his Hiab into some 22kV wires.
The Mum is an astounding lady - she toughs her way through it and carries on. I don't know how she does it.

It sure as hell keeps things in perspective for me.
