The Lord’s answer to “Why me?”

My Mikey, I love you

∞ • π³ + 1

There have not been too many times in my life when I have asked, "Why did this happen to me?"  I don’t recall asking this.  I have been known to ask, "Why NOW?"

It seems I’ve always FELT the answer to the question "Why me?"  Why NOT me?  What makes me so different that the rules would not apply to me, as they do to EVERY other person?  Why am I or should I be so special?   I am not and should not be.

I am special in a lot of ways.  I am not MORE special than any other person, though.

Why me?  Why not?  It had to happen to someone.  I could handle it, obviously.  Would I prefer it happen to my mother, or my babies?  Perhaps my Alzheimer-ridden grandmother?   Yes, all of them could handle it so much better……

Why now?  Comic relief, perhaps.  It IS rather funny to look back upon some ways I have reacted and/or handled things.  They are far from funny, at the time of occurrence, but later, let the knee-slapping begin!

So that’s why.  Because it happened, and I wouldn’t want it happening to anyone I loved instead.

Does this mean I’m growing up?
