Sadness

When heaven gains an angel, they rejoice.   Why is it that here on earth we feel so sad? 

 I am sad.  My uncle passed away.   I am sad for my aunt.  She has lost her parents (my grandparents),  siblings, and both of her children.  Now she lost her husband.  The big C.   Cancer.  I hate Cancer.   It claims too many lives.   But, for her to lose so many of those closest to her, I feel sad.   Where she gets her strength is beyond me.  But, I should learn from her.  We all should. 

It's true that when a tragedy happens, we feel this way.  We think about how we take things for granted, how we should remain faithful to God, how we should tell our loved ones how much they mean.   Why is it we forget always too soon?
