I know right now the economy sucks, we're all busy and emotions are high. A lot of us are in make or break situations. The country is at war, opinions are conflicting and we all are trying to keep our heads up. My cousin (18 fighting cancer) posted this song to his FaceBook and it's true as can be. It is country music and the song may not be the best but the lyrics live fore themselves

He was standing in the rubble of an old farmhouse outside Birmingham
When some on the scene reporter stuck a camera in the face of that old man
He said "tell the folks please mister, what are you gonna do
Now that this twister has taken all that's dear to you"
The old man just smiled and said "boy let me tell you something, this ain't nothing"

He said I lost my daddy, when I was eight years old,
That cave-in at the Kincaid line left a big old hole,
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend and my left hand
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
And last year I watched my loving wife, of fifty years waste away and die
And I held her hand til her heart of gold stopped pumping,
So this ain't nothin'

He said I learned at an early age,
There's things that matter and there's things that don't
So if you're waiting here for me to cry,
I hate to disappoint you boy, but I won't
Then he reached down in the rubble and picked up a photograph
Wiped the dirt off of it with the hand that he still had
He put it to his lips and said man she was something
But this ain't nothin'

He said I lost my daddy, when I was eight years old,
That cave-in at the Kincaid line left a big old hole,
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend and my left hand
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
And last year I watched my loving wife, of fifty years waste away and die
We were holding hands when her heart of gold stopped pumping
So this ain't nothin'

This ain't nothin' time won't erase
And this ain't nothin' money can't replace
He said you sit and watch your loving wife fifty years fighting for her life
Then you hold her hand til her heart of gold stops pumping
Yeah boy that's something,
So this ain't nothin'
Yeah this ain't nothin'
 
I have just struck a very difficult time at work after unexplainable goings on when I injured myself at work. I have now been sent home on sick leave- and after 9 days will not be paid again until I am can return fully recovered to work. It really has got me feeling down- But to raise my own spirits I have been thinking of all those who are in a more desperate situation then me. Those who cannot work- are about to loose their homes- and those who are injured worse than myself. We all have different levels of what we can handle within our selves, or with the help and support from family and friends- But my attitude has always been to consider those that are worse off them myself- and by thankful that my current situation isnt worse.
Thank you for posting those lyrics.
My thought are with your young cousin and his battle for life.
