Another one--not so close

It's been a little over 6 months since ML died.

Nine months since Bruce died.

Almost a year since Joe died and over a year since Steve died.

We went away as a family for a week.

We went away as a couple for a weekend.

I exhaled....

Bud always says don't exhale.

Bud's brother called this morning.

Bud's nephew died.

He died of an overdose.

I knew his nephew--but not well.

Once again I heard the pain, anger and sadness in Bud's voice.

I was catapulted back to the previous losses.

I am beginning to wonder if people are trying to exit the planet.

Several religions talk about a second coming in 2012.

Is what coming so bad that so many people are leaving now?

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.

ML was sick for a long time,

Joe dropped dead,

nephew was 25,

Bruce 54--cancer of the lover--hadn't had a drink in 24 years!!

It makes you wonder.........

What exactly is God's plan......
