Some Things are Just Hard to Understand

Sometimes I feel guilty when I complain about the problems that I have in my life, and tonight I am feeling REALLY guilty. I have just spent the last couple of hours watching the memorial service for my cousins' grandson. Ethan was only 9 years old. He had a very rare cancer that was discovered when he was 7. Ethan lived in Oregon. I never met Ethan, but I have followed his journey here :

My heart breaks for my cousin and the whole family. No child should have to suffer so much.

The memorial service was streamed live on the internet. This was a first for me. I have never attended a funeral service online; it was heartbreaking.

I have absolutely nothing to complain about and much to be thankful for................
