Karma

There were moments when we first discovered that Little Tree had some problems that I wondered what I had done in life to have deserved such terrible repercussions.  What did I do that was so bad that I deserved to lose a child and then have another who would have to fight so desperately hard during his childhood for his chance to live.  What did my son do to deserve this?

And now as I think on it, I was looking at Karma the wrong way.

The Karma that I am experiencing right now isn’t bad karma, and it isn’t present in the form of the bad things that are happening, but in the form of the overwhelming love, support, and help I have been receiving during this.

I don’t think God or the fates or the universe caused these bad things to happen.  But I think maybe, if we take care of those around us, and we try to be helpful and kind, we will find that when bad things do happen to us, Karma will come around – and prove that we are not alone.

  1. when I start getting into a "what did I do to deserve this" type of mood, I look at all the wonderful things I have in my life and then ask the question again. I will keep your family in my prayers!
