A mother is murdered in her own home and leaves behind an 11-year-old son and her husband. A father in his forties is diagnosed with cancer and dies and leaves behind his 10-year-old son and wife. A medical mistake ends up killing a 52-year father who leaves behind 3 kids and his wife. A woman spends years of her life trying to bring a baby into this world. COVID kills both kids in a family leaving behind just the parents. A woman is forced to live her life in pain because of 2 car accidents.
The point is that I can spend hours talking about all the stories that I am aware of, and I only know a few people’s stories out of the 7.5 billion stories that are living and breathing on this planet today.
And if you were to ask all these people, they would probably say that none of their stories match the idea of life they had in mind while growing up. For some, the story of their life maybe better than what they imagined growing up but nevertheless most of humanity continues to struggle with the shadows of their past. We spend entire lifetimes living our lives out of these stories which are filled with pain, suffering, neglect, frustrations, deceits, failures, defeats.
