Why do people have to go through this? Through no fault of their own! 😢

I had only recently been thinking about people being brought to their knees, and how that had never happened to me. I have had some serious struggles, but nothing so truly devastating. And now here I am - though mine are mostly close calls and tragedy averted.

I appreciate your advice, and I hope your troubles alleviate. In some ways, I've been spoiled and am privileged. I fully acknowledge that.

❤🌷💐
