Life's not fair sometimes.

1 minute read time.

I'm having one of those days today when life just doesn't seem fair.  Husband went back to work today after the Christmas break.  He's been looking forward to it.  He cut his hours down last year to look after me and today was supposed to be a new start for him.  So what happens?  He finds out he's losing his job in April, him and all his colleagues. 

Mum has been having trouble with her eyes and she's now found out she needs a cataract operation, which is quite a worry at her age.  That is if she ever gets to the top of a very long waiting list.  Mum's been upset lately, a good friend of hers has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  It upset me too.  She's a lovely lady and was very supportive to me with my cancer last year.  She's only just lost her husband, goodness knows how she's going to cope. 

It's not just me feeling life is unfair.  Some of my friends seem to be going through a particularly rough time.  One had her house flooded over Christmas, another had a family bereavement and a third found out her husband has Alzheimers. 

There is also something wrong with the thermostat on the fridge, the oven isn't working properly and we need a new part for the boiler.  Not normally a problem but the household finances aren't great due to me not being able to work for 9 months with my cancer.  It's beginning to feel as if someone up there doesn't like me very much.

Something nice has to happen soon because I don't know what I have done to deserve all this.  All I know is that nothing nice will be happening tomorrow because I am going to the Dentist.

    But Margaret just think about all of us...... We WILL be having a nice day because we won't be going to the dentist!? NO that is not a fair comment sorry. It is fair to say that you never complain and this time you are mostly upset for other people and that can'n be bad. I also know families whom I think get too hard hit. Good thing all these people have your friendship and I'm sure some support when you can. Sorry about your mothers eyes, I don't know how bad they are but I had a cataract removed 2/3 years ago and am waiting to have another done, I'm not at all bothered as it was so easy. Best wishes to your Mum, hope she is not too worried. You are a great support to us all xx . Elma. xx
