Heartbreak Visiting......A True Story. I was resting at home...my thoughts quiet...suddenly next to my head my cell phone rings...a voice of desperation on the line... Who is this..?....I ask .... He answered...It is ........( a very close friend) ... my wife just died...i tried to save her...please I need you...!!! Where are you...?...My hands pulling on my jeans...my heart racing...my hand yanking open the front door... I will be there in 15 minutes...... There were several cars outside the home...a trail of tears leading the way....as i entered his house...the familiar face of heartbreak met me at the door....this time it stood next to my friend....its smile all too familiar... As the doorway swung open....his weight let go...the sorrow driving him to his knees...my arms found purchase under him... easy brother...easy ...I got you.. I said...other friends and family all gathering with me...holding up one of their own... A few moments had passed... im ok...I;m ok...his focus coming back... Can we talk ...he asked... I m here ...whatever you need,, We slipped into the back bedroom...clothes and cardboard boxes lay about...memories of wedding days...the birth of their children...souvenirs for a shattered family... Tears streaming down his face....He said I need to hear her voice...i need to tell her I love her...: Go ahead;; i said...she can hear you...my eyes looking into his broken soul.... his face confused...a gaping wound of the soul lay bear...open...! I said....Lets go slow...we will lay her to rest tomorrow....she is counting on you and your children....grieve now...there is time for what you need ....for now ...let your soul cry fully...it is a time of sorrow He held me tight...his head on my shoulder...my eyes closed...my prayers private...his legs trying to hold him up...a few minutes passed...his breathing more still...we entered the living room....faces of the friendly and the loved looking back... His friends and family embraced him....a time for me to step aside... i quietly left ....my friend waving a shattered good bye... I will see you tomorrow......my finger pointing a shot of support... I stepped into the rain...my prayers had begun....his wifes soul already calling to me.... By Gods Grace Alone we go.... Peace Always.
