When life takes turns

Just now I learnt about a boy who has leukemia. The boy had been ill, and as the flu is taking its round, it was expected to be the flu. But symptoms have been different from the flu, and now the boy is in hospital for treatment. That is all I got to know, as the family is not close to us. Anyway it hits me.
I had intended to do some study-work and now I'm sitting here again wondering what is going on around me.
