Why Few Things Matter
Kimmie died today. She was only 24 years old. She spent 23 of her 24 years being ravaged by an incurable disease. Yet Kimmie was happy most of the time. She loved everyone.

A cautionary caveat before I go any further: how a person deals with loss and suffering is deeply personal. It is up to that person alone to decide what, if anything, they’ll do with their own loss. It is also up to them to decide if their suffering needs to be given any meaning or if it will be suffering for the sake of suffering alone.
