Go Fish

Sometimes I think my life is pretty crappy, then I talk to my friends realize my life is a bowl of cherries.  My girlfriends couldn't have gotten dealt a worse hand?  I wish I could do something to make their lives easier, better, happier. I wish there was someway I could remove their pain and struggles. Why can't life be like the game go fish?

It’s not fair that my friend’s husband is about to croak any minute and she’s going to have her breast removed Monday.

It’s not fair that my other girlfriend’s husband beats her and she won’t leave because of her son.

It’s not fair that my other friend’s stepson is the teenager from hell.  He seemed so cute and sweet when they got married.

It’s not fair that my other friend’s mother is sick and she is the only one available to care for her.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can provide the necessities of life.  If I won the lottery I wouldn’t buy the fancy house or car. Instead I would provide housing for my girlfriends that feel trapped, pay for my other girlfriends that are struggling to get their education, and I would provide the much needed care for my friends husband, her care when she gets out of the hospital and care for my friend’s mother.
