Sometimes its difficult to understand life and all the hardships that may face us, but I do believe there is a reason why things happen. People so often lose sight of reality and why we are here for such a very short time. Luke has touched so many of our hearts as have the father and son relationship, the death of the people we love especially when their lives are cut so short is difficult. I suppose these hardships are Gods way of telling us to count our blessings and never to lose sight of our real purpose in life. God has given us the gift of our children, we love them through their laughter as well as through their tears.
