"That's not fair!" we would say as typical teenage girls do when things do not go their way. She would respond with "What do I always tell you?" We would sigh and repeat the phrase we had heard so many time throughout our lives. We had been required to commit it to memory and repeat it back whenever we would whine. We never did this willingly or without rolling our eyes or even void of sarcasm. We knew she was right, but we could never admit it.
When she got diagnosed with cancer, we knew these words were true. Never did they have more meaning then when she left this world.
We do not say those words willingly although we know they are true. We never roll our eyes when we say them and always are they void of sarcasm now. We know she was right and we have been forced to admit it. "Life is not fair and you don't always get what you want."
Or!

Damn you and your thoughtful and sweet recent postings that always seem to make me cry. Not that I haven't been crying at absolutely everything lately, but I love and hate how your blogs have especially touched me lately! And I am terribly sorry about your grandma...just another life's not fair moments
