rain

Life sucks sometimes. My friend's sister-in-law passed away suddenly yesterday. I picked her up from the airport and dropped her off to be with her family. During the drive we talked about life and death and coping. It is a reminder to be thankful for all the blessings in my life. I may stress and over analyze everything, but really when it comes down to it, I have amazing family and amazing friends. Death happens in life. But while we are here, we should focus on living and loving each other. Another thing that happened yesterday, my roommate's dog is dying. The dog will probably have to be put down today. She got home covered in dog hair and blood with puffy and red eyes. I hate seeing people I care about in pain. I wish I could do anything to make them feel better. But when I can't do anything, I write. So I wrote this "poem":

It’s raining now but I’ll hold your hand through the rain
We’ll both get wet but I’ll try to keep you dry
I want you to know that it’s ok to cry
We can cry together with the rain
