a letter to the universe

Dear Universe,

Four years ago when I was planning to go back to school, you pointed me toward a doctor who found a hole in my heart.  While I'm extremely grateful, it did eliminate my ability to go to school.

This weekend, when I was wondering whether or go back to school, my son ended up in the ER and we discovered a humongous tree in our backyard that might fall on houses and power-lines and must be removed.  While I'm extremely grateful no one has been seriously hurt, it has eliminated my ability to go to school. 

Next time I'm thinking of going back to school, could you help me win the lottery (even though I don't play it) instead?  Then I'll never consider school again.  I promise.

Sincerely,
Me
