Who, what, where, when and

Why. It's the one that's always the hardest to answer. Always the toughest to understand. The one that takes the most thought and careful consideration. A question that rarely has an answer. So, I ask you, why ask why? Throughout my life there have been many occasions in which I asked this question. And the majority of them remain unanswered. Unfortunately, trials are a part of every day life. They come at you when you least expect it and throw you into a tail spin of doubt and despair. If you're lucky you come out on top, changed, but stronger. A few years ago I delivered a sweet baby that we named Noah. He was one of the biggest Why's I have asked in my lifetime. Today, I have a very dear friend struggling with the same reality. It breaks my heart to see her go through what I had to go through. I want to tell her that everything will work out and that good will come from it, but I was told the same thing and it didn't help. I wish I could remove this burden from her and bear it myself, knowing that I survived the first time and could do it again, but it isn't up to me. I can only hope that she will get an answer when she asks the question - why?, and that it will bring her peace.
