Why?

" Death makes a heartache no one can heal, love makes a memory no one can steal". My heart has been full of sadness for the last couple of weeks as some very good people have lost their lives. I been left wondering why. Why does someone so young have to be taken from this earth, from family, and friends. Why does such a wonderful person have to suffer through a horrible illness, and then leave behind their family and friends. I know that it is all part of the plan, but sometimes I just don't understand this plan. I have watched someone very close to me suffer for over 15 years with a very hard disease that has no end or cure. Why does that person have to suffer? I know that everything happens for a reason, but sometimes I just have to ask why?
