| There are times in our lives when bad things happen. I don't mean just a bad test grade or even a broken arm or something like that. Sooner or later we must all face events like the death of a close friend or relative. Sometimes it comes suddenly, with no warning at all. Sometimes it comes slowly as someone suffers from a disease like cancer. It is not always death. It might be an accident that causes injuries so severe that it takes years to recover. It may be an inury which wipes out the possibility of pursuing what you truly love, like gymnastics, or music, or some other activity. It could be something that will never be overcome, like paralysis or blindness. | |
