This Is Life

By Arvilla Fee and Robert C. Evans

To say "life isn't fair" is an understatement. As human beings, we endure grief and hardships that nearly take our breath away, and there are so many moments where we cannot begin to understand the why behind our suffering. To face loss, toxic relationships, addiction, insecurity, exhaustion, aging, and the ugliness of the world around us may shake our faith and weaken our resolve, but in the end, we are a resilient lot and somehow find strength through nature, laughter, and our own fierce determination to keep fighting the good fight. This Is Life holds the tough and tender moments of daily living and gives us the validation and connection we seek in each other so that we never have to say, "Am I the only one?"
