WHY?

Why? That is all I can ask myself right now...I truly believe that things always happen for a reason, that we meet people we should, they come into our lives for a reason, some good some bad...but what I don't understand is why some are taken from us so young. An old friend just lost her daughter today to cancer and I wonder why? Why wasn't she allowed to have babies? Get married? Grow old? And if she was put on this earth to live, why was she chosen to leave us so soon?

I cannot imagine what my friend must be going thru to have to deal with her illness and now her death, but I am sure she left something behind to all who's life she touched and it is now up to those left behind to wonder what that is and how we can learn from the gift she left us...
