Painful Life

No matter how painful one's life may be 

There are still things that make him not flee!

So true Demetrios and so sad when folk can no longer bear what is happening in their life and take their own. There are always blessings to count and to be grateful for, although until one is in their position we do not know what our reaction might be. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

It is especially sad when one has given their children as much as they can, and done without, to see them make successes of themselves. How devastating to have to bury them instead. As you say in your marvelous couplet there is always something to make a person not flee. ..Maria xxx

Yes, it is the most devastating experience for a parent to lose a son or a daughter! Yes, you told me about your friend! May his soul find peace! Thank you dearest, Maria for your visit and fine comment! xxx

We all have crosses to bear sometimes but we only have to look around the world and realise how lucky we are. Tom

Very true my friend, Tom! I had in mind those desperate people who although suffer still they stay put! Unfortunately there are others who flee: Today I heard of a friend's son of 21 who committed suicide! Thank you for your inspiring comments!
