Such is life

It is not a blessing.  Our not being together is not a blessing.  But such is life, life isn't supposed to be perfect.  Suppose I do get to shield you from all harm and misery (which is impossible), eventually I will get killed off.  Life is full of trials.  We need to be together.

Natty, is your whole family moving to California?  Is that so?  I can only guess why, but let me know as clearly as possible if you want me to deduce something.
