No I haven't read the book. Or seen the movie. I generally try to avoid things that I know are depressing. Life can be hard enough without deliberately exposing myself to unhappiness. The world is a profoundly unjust place. Why are some people dealt such a crappy hand? I will never understand it. But I must make peace with it because it isn't going to change.
I received very sad news today; a dear friend of mine is dying. He will not see his kids graduate high school or get married or have their own children. Life is uncertain and inconsistent, so hug your babies tonight and thank God for what you have. I know I will.
I'm so sorry to hear that Meggie. I am the same with depressing movies/books/TV, etc. Give your babies a hug from me.
ReplyDeleteWe're so sorry. Is it anyone we know? That is so hard to see. A guy we served here with is dying also. It's hard to lose a friend, especially one so young.
