Is there a meaning to all this, what is the purpose?

I have struggled for the last couple of weeks, struggled to understand why things happen to the people they happen to. On tuesday the week before last a friend went out with a mate on an early, 5.30 am morning cycle ride. Less than 2 km from home he hit a rock lying on the road that in the just pre dawn light he didnt see. It threw him off his bike onto his head and he died almost but not quite instantly. He was 48, married with 3 teenage daughters whom he totally utterly adored and lived for. One of the best guys I have ever had the privilidge to know.
I have struggled with Tony's death, I have ranted and raved at the universe when there are so many other people that are a total waste of space why does a guy who loves his family, lives a simple life, loves the simple things and is loved by everyone, why was it his turn? What sense is there in that?

My son is 17, he has an 8 year old half brother whom he sees when he visits his dad every second weekend and in the holidays. Although there is an age gap Ben is very protective of his little brother.
Little brother's Mum doesnt live with the dad (my ex-husband) anymore, hasnt done for a number of years but the boys spend time together with their dad regularly and Ben has always got on ok with little brothers Mum. Ben is with this dad this week and little brother is there too. They took little brother home to his mum yesterday and now comes the sucky part......little brothers Mum has terminal cancer, her pancreas and spine, and at 47 has been told she has 12 months max. She is a single mum with an 8 year old boy. Where is the sense in that? What purpose is leaving that little 8 year old boy without a Mummy going to serve?

And so I question reason and sense right now and wonder if there is a god or a higher power and if they are so benevolent why dont they interfere with our lives occasionally so that these things dont happen to the people they shouldnt happen to?
I know this sort of thing happens to people all over the world every day, I understand that, I understand terrible things happen to the least deserving of it at times and I bet they question the sense of it too.

Visited by the gods of twisted metal

It's Firkin Freezing today and some dickwipe smashed into my car. Seriously I walked out into the carpark after work on Monday and looked at my car parked halfway over the curb and thought to myself "Why is the front of my car up on the walkway, ffs surely I didnt park it like that this morning I would have felt it hit the curb as it went up surely. Shit, who is watching me walk to my car to see who the dickhead is who parked their car halfway over the footpath??" Anyway as I neared my car I saw a piece of paper fluttering behind the windsheild wiper. it read... " Please contact security, we have details on the person who hit your car" HIT MY CAR!!! I yell in my brain as I run to the back of my car to discover twisted craked and bent fender. Not happy me. Anyway all sorted and in the loving hands of the panel beater as I write and it was nice to be told by the witness who got the dickheads details that his car looked way worse than mine. On another completely random tangent... It's firkin freezing today, the sun is out but the southerly wind is blowing and freezing and I loath and detest being cold and I am very cold today, even my fingers and legs feel cold and I have trousers on. Its only 10.30 am and I have eaten most of my lunch because I was cold and wanted warmth although what warmth is to be had from a a marmite sandwich and a muesli bar I am not quite sure. Now I am sitting here freezing my tits off............Clunk!............Clunk! Yep there they go.
