It's Not Fair

It's Not Fair ... that most 15 year old boys worry about girls and grades, and MY 15 year old has to worry about how to deal with the death of his brother and how to navigate a river of school people that either don't understand or ignore his pain
It's Not Fair ... that our family picture will never be complete again
It's Not Fair ... that after only 10 short weeks, there are some that think we need to move forward because 'life is for the living'
It's Not Fair ... that death does not respect the young
It's Not Fair ... that I have to visit my 18 year old son in a cemetery
It's Not Fair ... that Max's closest friends wonder where their 'old life' went ...
It's Not Fair ... that I will never have grandchildren from Max
It's Not Fair ... that Max never got to go to college, or get married, or grow old
It's Not Fair ... that anger is the overriding feeling in my household right now
It's Not Fair ... that tears fall every night on my pillowcase
It's Not Fair ... that we now actually look forward to going to grief support groups
It's Not Fair ... that SO MANY parents know the exact pain I am describing

This list could go on and on and on and on, the bottom line is DEATH JUST ISN'T FAIR
