I think that's so true. One of my friends spent most of his life helping others, being a good friend, supporting children's activities and trying to live a blameless life. He had endless empathy for others, never bad-mouthed anyone and was a devoted husband and father.
A few weeks after his 25th wedding anniversary he was diagnosed with terminal cancer very suddenly. He survived almost another year, suffered contant pain and unspeakable indignities but never uttered a word of complaint or bitterness. he finally died a few days before his youngest daughter's 10th birthday.
If that is not enough, he was a devoted Christian right to the end but i have to wonder where God was to let him suffer so much.
