Good news wanted

I have heard lately only bad news. From moderately annoying to down right nasty. And I have noticed something: that almost all bad news are related to a missing person. Someone is alone and missing the presence of a partner. Someone is in an estranged relationship and is missing the way the partner was some time ago. Someone is in a marriage only because of the children and what that person is missing is a spouse to rely on and share a marriage with. Someone is missing their child. Someone is missing their pet who was exactly like a child to them.
All this heartache relates to a soul missing from someone's life.

I wish I could fix this.
I wish I could make people's life easy.
I wish they could make their lives easy.
I wish people would finally understand that they have to assume responsibility for their choices.
I wish they would stop making silly choices instead of reasonable ones.
I wish there were an easy way to deal with death.
I wish we could find the way to make waiting easier and less wearisome.
I wish good things happened to good people.

I wish I heard one piece of meaningful good news.

The older I get, the more fond I am of hearing good news.
Help out a soon to be old lady.

I wish I could hand you that impossible-to-find magic wand. It seems you would do only good with it.
