Samantha was 31 years old. She died this week.
She was hit by a car. She died instantly.
Samantha had more than her share of life's disappointments.
Samantha suffered from abusive relationships all her life.
To cover the pain, she partied, and drank too much.
But in her heart she was a good girl, just trying to survive.
Samantha had a lot of love to give, and such a big heart.
In the short time I knew her, I came to feel her pain and
to love Samantha very much.
Samantha brought joy and light to my lonely life.
I will miss her.
Why didn't SHE ever get a break?
What did she DO to have such a hard life?
Why have I had breaks and lived such a protected life?
This is an item for my "WHY list" -
questions to ask God some day,
in the day when God wipes all tears away,
and His ways with mankind are fully revealed.
Until then, I'll trust Him through the tears.
