life isn't fair

I agree with Governor Blanco's statement that life isn't fair, at least not fair as we know it, and life on earth

My mom mentors a 6 year old girl, Christiana, through the Mentor Duluth program, and stared last spring, when Christiana was 5. Christiana's dad had died 3 years ago and her mom, Nancybeth, suffered from severe multiple sclerosis, and was unable to use the right half of her body. there were 5 kids in the family and nancybeth raised them from her bedroom as she was unable to get out of bed without the help of her oldest son. soon after we met through the mentor program I began working for Nancybeth after school twice a week doing laundry, housework and cooking, or whatever was needed.

the family lived in a split-level house which was completely wheelchair-unacccessible. nancybeth worked on plans for the building of a new house to move into that was handicap accessible, and earlier this year the hosue was finished and the family moved in. if life is fair, then I don't know what fair means i guess. this summer Nancybeth died unexpectedly from a heart attack. the 5 kids have lost both of their parents now, and had to move to the twin cities with their aunt, thus losing their house and all of their friends.

Life for this family is certainly not fair and to say otherwise seems to be saying that there is something that they did to deserve such misfortune. back to my first statement...I believe that God will bring everything to justice, and that while our life on earth is less than fair, once we die everything will be fair again.
