“Lost and Found” “To live is to experience tragedy” is what I learned from elders coming up as a child. Whether it befalls one individually or simply those around‚ tragedies are a part of life. Sometimes tragedy happens for no apparent reason it could be in the wrong place at the wrong time or just accidental. Tragedy without any explanation is a mournful experience.
