The caregiver

I was sitting at a convenient store, waiting on the girls & happened to look in my rear view mirror to see a young woman (20 something) walking with (what appeared to be) her adult brother & sister. She was holding their hands as if they were children. It appeared as though they may have some sort of handicaps.

I couldn't help but wonder, what were their lives like? What struggles must they have gone through? We're their parents alive? Did she have help taking care of them? God must've made her a very strong young woman.

It's amazing to me how all of our lives can vary so dramatically. It also amazes me how we can feel sorry for ourselves and/or "poor mouth" when we have no idea how bad things could actually be. The big picture can sometimes be heartbreaking.
