Be grateful for every moment...in between & during...

Life is interesting.
Bitter & sweet.

This week we lost my step son's best friend in a motorcycle accident. He was 26 & happily married to a beautiful girl, now a widow @ 25. He was a "nice boy" with the promise of a beautiful life......... Some things I just don't understand. I just have to accept what is.

The future ex was robbed at gun point on Tuesday. They took most of the inventory in the store.
They tied him up & kept 4 customers on the floor with guns pointed @ their heads.

I had tried to call him to let him know about Andy's death & didn't understand why he wasn't answering his cell or the store phone. When I got ahold of him, I immediatly went to make sure he was OK.
He called yesterday..... I think he just needed a friend BUT I cannot be that. I am no longer his soft place to fall. He gave up that right to be my friend when he disrespected me so many times. When he used control & manipulation to get what he wanted from me.
I would not have chosen this experience for him but it is what it is & I can't take it away.

I feel guilty for not wanting to spend hours trying to console him...........
Some things I just don't understand.
So, I'll keep my eyes toward Life/God/Whateveryoucallit knowing that everything has a divine purpose & that I am grateful that he still has his life.

Sigh................
I'm going back into my happy bubble now...........
