Is God there?

I received an email from an old friend today. It was so disturbing that I cannot focus on my work for the entire day.

2 weeks back, his daughter came down with epilepsy. It was two days short of her 18th birthday. And a few days back, he collapses on the way back from visiting his girl. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer. A rare type.

I called him back immediately. His feeble laughter on the phone tear me completely. His courage makes me feel so vulnerable and weak in his presence.

This man doesnt deserve this.
This man loves his children.
He works hard for what he have to this date.
More than ever,this man loves life, more than anyone I have known.

He wrote ," Shed already too many tears and nothing is changing. I have learnt that tears and sorrows do not change life. I hate that. Wish I could. OR wish I could go back to rectify things and errors but I cannot. "

Words fail me. I promise myself I will try, within my means, to make him feel better.

I hope God knows what he is doing.
