Loss

Loss.......

Hello, please allow me to introduce myself, my name
is Loss. I travel throughout the universe with a very
specific job description. I have several friends that
either travel with me or on their own. Their names are
Pain, Suffering, Grief, Disappointment, Unfairness and Depression. I wanted all of you to understand the role
that we play. We are all a part of what is known as the
cycle of life. We do not select our visited because they
are more deserving of heart-ache than others. Our job
is not to punish it is just to carry out what is to be. You
have not been singled out to be hurt or punished, even though I know you may have thought so.

You see we start visiting you when you are first born.
The first time you experience me is when you are
taken from the womb of your mother. I am the one
that visited you when you lost your first front tooth.
I was also there when you lost your first race. I was the
one that visited you each time you had your heart
broken. You see I have been a part of your life since
the minute you were born. Sometimes my damage was
easier to recover from than other times. I noticed when
it was difficult for you but I could not intervene. I knew
that I not only had a job to do, but you were in the
middle of the molding process. You are the person
that you are today because I visited you. Some of you
have handled me easier than others, but all of you
have grown as a result of my visits.

There are so many people out there who have been
touched by your experiences. Your influence was far
more reaching than just to yourself or your immediate family.
There have been lives changed that you will never even know
about, as a result of my visits to you. It was not just you that
needed molding but others as well. I just wanted to take the
time to thank-you for helping me to mold the universe.

Sincerely,
Loss
