God has a way of lightening what is supposed to be a heavy blow. He can diffuse a painful incident's impact in our life. If we are lucky, we totally don't need to experience a tragic incident. We are all bound by what destiny had in store for us. In as much as we want to keep our daily life free from struggles, there are dues we needed to pay in this lifetime.
