Drowned at Sea

My friend lost her husband at sea when she was 36.

One beautiful Sunday morning, her husband went for a boat ride with their two young kids 7 and 9 and another nephew but luck was not with him when the boat capsized.

The boatman ranaway and the father had to save 3 the kids and when he brought them to safety, he slipped into the water through sheer exhaustion and the waves carried him away into the deep blue sea and he drowned.

The mother wanted a better further for the children, decided to send the children overseas. She had to sell her house to finance the educational expenses.

Upon completion the children decided to stay back and now the poor ailing mother has to live in a retirement home. Last week while crossing the road to get some groceries was knocked down by a car and she landed on the windscreen shattering it to pieces and is now waiting to be operated on her broken arm and substained many bruises on her body.

What a life, spending all her life savings on her children in hope for a better future but it didn't happen according to her plans.

We can plan and calculate to the best of our abilities but the ultimate plan lies unknown to us.
