Recently we've learned that life can be 42 years long, 17 years long, or even 4 months long. We've been trying to make sense of it all over here, trying to talk it out and think of reasons for why and how and WHAT THE HECK. Why do such horrible things happen? How can such cruel things happen to such beautiful people? Or anyone for that matter. How can such cruel things happen to ANYONE? It just doesn't seem fair.
We haven't been able to come up with any answers. I'm not sure you can turn nonsense into logic. No matter what perspective you use, in the end, they all seem to lead back to the confusing state you started with....
What we have been able to work out is how grateful we are for each other. For our family and friends in Kuwait and our family and friends back home or elsewhere. We are grateful for every time we get to hear Nory laugh or run around or say a new word. We are grateful for the many adventures we've had together and the opportunities we have for more travel in the future. We are grateful to have careers that we are passionate about and a new house back home waiting for memories to be made.
If we've come up with ANYTHING during our hours and hours of sorting through the mess of these tragedies, we've decided it's best to be grateful. Love like you've never loved before. Be kind. Forgive people. And enjoy every single second you have because, unfortunately, you just never know.
On that note, we'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy summer, wherever that may be.
Love,
The Parkinson Family
