Ain't No Justice In this World

I just got a sucker punch in the gut piece of news!

My life long friend Hank is in the death ward with stage 3 cancer of the stomach.
I can't help thinking, " What dark or evil thing did this man do to deserve such a fate?"
To my knowledge...not a damned thing! Although it is impossible to know everything about another person I can only say that there is nothing in my experience of this loving human that could possibly justify such misery and pain. No justice!

I'll tell you that Hank is as fine tempered a man as any that I have ever met.
His sense of humour as sharp as any while at the same time broad and never offensive.
A physical giant with a gentle nature. Yet from a young age struck with seemingly senseless and certainly life changing injuries. I could share the details but that would not be right. Let's just say that few people would have maintained any love or balance in their life with the pain this man has endured for over thirty years. Faced with adversity Hank got on with life. Struck down with injury that would cripple most men he perservered.

I cannot understand how so much shit can rain on one person. It's as if life just points the finger at someone and says "Man, you're it!"

I wish I could do something...I can't.
