Everything Happens for a Reason

I have a women that I work with and her mother is dying - it is so sad - this women is about 44 and her mother is 76 - she lived a good life but it is still so sad to lose your mother at any age and I was thinking about the loss of my mother and how in some ways I was lucky it happened when I was so young because I did not have a clue. I did not even know that hospice was the last step and it meant that you were dying. My mom's friends had to sit me down to tell me she was not going to make it - because my mom kept telling me she was going to be okay and I believed her. I truley believe everything happens for a reason and I know alot of people hate that saying but in my life I have found it to be so true and even with my infertility I know there must be a reason this happening to me. It is hard when you are in the middle of a situation - but after it is over and you have a chance to look back upon it then you realize why it has happened.
