Life isn't fair.

That's a hard thing to find out,
but sooner or later, everyone does.
Still, I always feel sad and disappointed
when someone I care about, like you,
has to face such a difficult time.
You didn't cause it, you don't deserve it,
and there's no easy way to fix it.
You simply have to live through it.
As time goes by, you'll rise above it.
I know, because I know you.
The things that happen around you
can't change the qualities within you--
the honesty and courage, the caring,
and the certainty that you are a good and worthy person.
What happened to you isn't fair.
But I believe someday
you'll discover there's a meaning in it,
a meaning that will have a purpose in you life
you can't even imagine right now.
Hold onto these thoughts until then,
and I'll be the one who's right by your side
all along the way.
