Life is unpredictable in so many ways. Just when we think we have things figured out, life has a not-so-funny way of changing things up. There was a time when I really thought I had Life figured out. I was sick. There was a solution. I chose to voluntarily give up my option to have more children. It was, after all, the best option to remedy my chronic health problem. I agreed to my hysterectomy without a care in the world because we had three healthy boys. See? I had Life figured out. 30 days after that surgery, to the day, Christopher died. Without warning.
