I Don't Know Why…I don't know why. I'll never know why. I don't have to know why. I don't like it. I don't have to like it. What I do have to do is make a choice about living. What I want to do is accept it and go on living. The choice is mine. I can go on living, valuing every moment in a way I never did before, or I can be destroyed by it and, in turn, destroy others. I thought I was immortal. That my family and my children were immortal too. That tragedy happened only to others. But I know now that life is tenuous. So I am choosing to go on living, making the most of the time I have, valuing my family and friends in a way never possible before.
