I am growing tired of death

Just got a call from my older sister-in-law. I knew something was wrong when I heard her voice. A friend of ours from college - who had attended my wife's memorial service just over two months ago - died in a car accident today. We have two uncles in Ireland fighting different health troubles, both serious. A dear friend from high school has a serious illness. Two people from the church I used to serve died this month, one of them roughly my age. There's just a lot of death and disease going on. I am tired of it.

My heart is broken for his wife. He was only 45. I remember when they became an "item". I was at there wedding. I remember when his father died and Alanna and I visited their house. Heck, he remembered to send me a Christmas card this last year. What is God thinking?

My fraternity brothers just dusted off the fraternity's memorial service for Alanna's funeral. Now we have another brother to memorialize. Way too soon. It's just not right.
