How true is this statement. At times, life can feel like events happen to you that you do not "deserve". A year ago at this time, my fourth child was born with a congenital heart disease. Over the next 8 months, our daughter had two open heart surgeries and spent over half her life in a hospital. She passed away in July. It has been a tremendously difficult trial to endure and I can not help to ask what have I had done to have to watch my daughter suffer they way she did. Fortunately, I still have a wife and 3 other beautiful children I have to live and be happy for. It is a difficult choice to make each day to be happy when I would rather just lay down on the floor and cry. But, I have to accept the things I can not control. I can not control what life will hit me with, I can only control how I react to it.
