A sad lesson

Life isn't fair.  We've all heard it many times.  Our first exposure to it was probably from our mothers.  I know mine was.  It sounded to the ears of a little one as an excuse for an unjust punishment.  But it wasn't, nor is it now.  It's just a truth.  Life isn't fair.  Today, life was taken from my friend Jay Williams.  For no good reason.  He fell.  It could happen to anyone.  Why him?  No one has the answers.  Life just isn't fair. 
I've been thinking all day about the day that the time comes when I have to tell my children this phrase.  I realized today how much it will hurt to look in my sweet baby's eyes (they will always be my babies) and tell them that life isn't fair.  It's not an excuse, and it's not a reason.  It's just a truth.  Life isn't fair.  And today I'm so very sad about it.
