k- march 13 1973 my father was electrocuted while he was working for his siding company he owned. he fell 3 stories and was dead in the air. when he hit the ground, the electricity shot out of him throught his arms, head and back(hes got a large hole in his back, no arms and also, has a large scar across the top of his head)
After going throught such a traumatic experiance, and being very depressed, he became a terrible alcoholic. Just so happens my mother worked at a bar for 17 years and they fell in love.we moved in with him shortly after my mother and biological father divorced. my mother was searching for something to fulfill her life and decided to get out of the bartending business and started working somewhere where shes have bennies. one month after switching jobs, my mother was diagnosed with hairy cell lukeima and had have to under go 2 one month long session of chemo. When my brother was a sophomore in high school he finally broke down and palyed football after being bugged for 2 years by the coack to play. his third game he was injured and tore his ACL and never returned to the field.
one year after his football injury he notice a lump on hsi leg where he had injured it playing foot ball. He had it checked out and the docotr removed what he said was scar tissue. one month later the lump had grown back, twice the size it was before. After having the growth analized by several companies the US army finally diagnosed my brother with having Sonomial sarcoma- a very deadly cancer.
it was valentines day 2000 when my brother had to have his leg amputated, to get rid of the cancer that was present in his body.
i believe that my father lost his arms , adn my mother got cancer so that my brother would not be afraid of the things that were happening to him, b/c he knew you could be an amputee and a cancer survivor, adn you could still live a normal life.
No one knows why anything happens to them- but everything happens for a reason. It might not make sense right away- but someday everything that happens to you, will make sense.
Like you said, everything happens for a reason. Unfortunately, we may never find out what that reason is. Maybe to make us stronger or more compassionate. I don't know. Wish I had better words to say.
Life is a tapestry and each thread is important....it all has meaning because each action has consequence....and the ripple effect everyone's actions have is huge...
