It Happens

 I can't take credit for this, after a major stroke and impaired cognitive thoughts, my sister said it and said it better than I ever could. 

I in angst said:
  "How could this happen to us?"

She clear and coherently replied:
  "It's not what happens to us in life, 
    it's how we handle it that matters."
