I know I have, in the past, been guilty of comforting myself with the notion that something has happened for a reason. But deep down I understand that things don't always happen FOR us, or so that our souls can grow, or anything like that. Sometimes shit just happens. We haven't attracted it to us. It is just SHIT happening. I love how you approached and spoke to Samir's parents. Profound wisdom in this piece, Michael. A🙏💚
