I don't understand

I don't understand any of the following:

I don't understand how a 30 year old can die from brain cancer after having fought it for many many years.

I don't understand how his parents can be gracious and kind when greeting people at his visitation to the point where they wish others (Roger and me) strength.

I don't understand how Roger's sister can learn that she not only has her third round of cancer but that it is Stage 4 and aggressive.

I don't understand how any of this makes sense.

I don't understand how we can send a man to the moon but we can't cure cancer. 

I

don't

understand.


Today was a hard day for both of us.  Lots of emotion, lots of heavy thoughts, all coupled with the fact Roger doesn't feel well.  He managed to eat breakfast and lunch and nibbled a little for dinner.  He is full speed headed towards a chemo crash tomorrow.  Our point of focus?  Monday should mean the start of better days....hold on, be patient, try try try to be positive and remember....one day at a time....just breathe.

  1. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM SOMETHING THEY SAY THEY HAVE A CURE FOR, OR WHY FDA CAN DENY MED'S TO SO MANY INNOCENTS. WHY ISN'T THERE FAMILY'S BEING HURT BY ALL THIS CANCER, AND IF THEY ARE WHY DOESN'T SOME ONE BLOW A FREAKING WHISTLE AND HELP THOSE WHO NEED IT. I LOVE YOU 2 AND KNOW YOU ARE SO COURAGE'S AND ITS NOT FAIR TO SUFFER CANCER MORE THAN ONCE, LET ALONE HAVE YOUR FAMILY SUFFER.
