Why Not You?

Last month I wrote about my bestie and her son Nic.

This journey my friend is on is one I

can.not.wrap.my.mind.around

I was blessed last month to spend 2 whole days

with them at Children’s in Seattle

I got to see the struggles that Nic

is facing everyday

I got to talk with my friend

I told her

“Not gonna lie this is testing my faith and he isn’t even my son”

“Why Nic? Why you?”

Her response….

“Why not Nic?”

“Why not us?”

“Bad things happen to good people”

What I heard was what makes us so special that things won’t happen to us

What I have always thought was if we

are good people

law abiding citizens

rule followers

we are ABOVE bad

Silly me!
