Today has been an interesting day. For the most part I have felt pretty good. I haven't had any homework, got my room cleaned and have had an overall relaxing day. I have spent most of the day however being excited for Kaitlyn. Her missionary came home today so she flew to Seattle to him. I couldn't be more happy for her. Two years is a long time to wait for someone and she has been patient and faithful. I know how excited she is to see Blake again and I am excited for both of them. They have both been on my mind all day.
Tonight however I got on facebook and read something from a family friend who is going through a really hard time. I have known about their situation for a long time now and known what's been going to happen to them this week. But as I was reading what she wrote I started to cry. This is not unusual for me seeing as it doesn't take much for me to cry anymore, but I began to think. Looking at their situation and then thinking about Kati it hit me how truly unfair life can be. Today while one person was rejoicing and excited to be reunited with the person she loves someone else was holding their baby knowing that in a few days that baby won't be theirs anymore. It's just weird to think that while this may be the best day thus far for Kati, it could've been the worst for someone else. It's like the whole everyday babies are born and at the same time people are dying. Isn't that weird? I know that is just the natural part of life but it is so mind boggling to me. Life is just so unfair and fair all at the same time. It's all just so twisted....
