Are you there God? Its me, Beth.

First off, let me tell you I think you are doing a dynamite job. However, I think there is always room for some betterment. Can you please tie on my shoes for a moment, and lend me your ear?

We have been in the hospital nearing a month now, and I have witnessed some really sick children.

At times its almost too much for my heart to take in. I watch these kids with their strained smiles and forced movements, as they battle with life  day in, and day out.

Here is where I suggest you implement some change. I don’t think children should know chronic pain, or illness. I have spent many a sleepless night trying to make sense of it all. I just can’t seem to find the good in it.

Children should ride bikes, run through sprinklers, and laugh until their sides hurt. They should know the pain of a skinned knee, not that of a needle, they should grow up surrounded by the four walls of a home, not a hospital.

These illnesses rob kids of their youthful innocence…. the very last thing that should ever be taken from someone. Its not fair to have to grow up so fast, laugh so little, and look death square in the eye.

I propose instead of children getting sick or dying, how about you give these afflictions to criminals? You see, we would free up jail space, tax dollars, and rid the world of corrupt people….win, win, win.

Its just my two cents, it may not be worth a lot, but its all I got. I tend to think the world would be a little finer of a place if we threw some fairness into the mix.

I am sure you have your reasons for sick children, its just really hard to see from where I stand in my shoes.

Keep up the fantastic work,

Yours truly, Beth
