Nobody Said Life Was Easy ~ Repost

I wrote this last year when my sister was suffering with cancer that finally took her life on 8/22/08. Even though I miss her everyday and will for all my living days, I still believe in what I wrote then.

One might say that I have to much going on in my life.  I don't think it is anymore than the next person.  Believe me when I say I wish these things weren't happening.  They are and one has to take it one day at a time.  Nobody said life was easy, it isn't.  You just make the best of it and do the best you can.

I have a sister who is courageously fighting cancer, a stepson who is more than likely going back Iraq, having my current supervisor leave, my Nana whose health is going down hill, and a husband who will be working away from home most of the summer.  I think it is just the way life is.  If you really think about it, you will realize that there is some life changing events going on in our daily lives. 

I have had people ask me how I get through it.  I say this:  You can't change people's health, you can't make people do things to make your life easier, and sometimes people do what they have to do.  I can't live other people's lives.  I have to live my own, make my own choices, and live with those choices.  Everything happens for a reason.  If I didn't believe that I know that at times I wouldn't be able to make it
