YOU CAN mend a broken heart

4/14/2018

Yesterday was a Friday the 13th that will be hard to forget for some of us. One of our long time co-worker's passed.  Although, he had been sick, it was a shock to us all!  Just the day before our Owner said that David was sick, back in the hospital,  and wasn't doing well.  He and David were incredibly close friends for years.

Early yesterday I decided to text David and ask how he was doing.  Immediately his phone rang my phone.  I smiled to see his picture display on my phone. I was ready to fuss at him for not taking care of himself like he was suppose to.   My smiles became tears soon after.   The call was coming from his wife, she was crying deeply as she told me that he had just passed.   She said they were waiting for the Coroner to come.  I felt so bad!  I couldn't believe it... I was in shock.  How awful I felt for her and their family.   I couldn't hold my emotions. I told her that we all loved and prayed for them.

As I reflect on the man, our co-worker, our friend, I know that he is not suffering any longer.  This man dealt with terrible pain, both physically and emotionally.   He was a Veteran and had suffered great pain dealing with PTSD.  He shared stories of things that happened throughout his life.  He struggled for years at the office dealing with emotional events that had happened in his life.   He battled addictions in which he overcame and was involved in helping others battle theirs.

When I first met David at the office....... he annoyed me deeply!   He was arrogant, outspoken in ways that just absolutely made me furious!   As years passed I got to know him.  I listened to his stories and I became a sounding board to him.  He also would listen to my stories and asked about my life as a friend.   David always asked about the kids and Greg.  He loved to see my posts about my dogs, cats, family, and NCIS!  You could tell he truly cared about me as a person, a co-worker, and a friend!

I attended David's wedding of the woman he found that loved him deeply.   She loved his family and was the best thing that happened to him!  David became a much better person who could handle his physical and emotional needs after they married.   I was so happy for him.  You could really tell that she loved all of him.  

All of us have baggage.......some more than others!  I am so glad that I listened to the stories of his life and got to know him way beyond the arrogant man I thought that he only was!  We need to take the time and get to know our co-worker's.  We are with them as much as we are our own families.   It is so important to include them in our thoughts and prayers.  It is important to take the time to fellowship and build relationships with them.  Although some discourage building relationships with co-worker's, I disagree.   My closest friends have been past and present co-worker's and I am so very thankful for them all!

David, as you look down upon us from Heaven, I know you are not suffering from breathing problems, nor are you suffering from diabetes, and most importantly you are not battling those emotional demons.  I am thankful that I got to know you as a person and a friend.  

This song came to mind as I reflected on David.  My friend, your broken heart was mended. You are living again!


​I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again!
