The reason for my trip was to go and assist and help my friend in anyway that I could.
Six weeks ago my friend suffered the devastating loss of both his wife and newborn son during childbirth.
My friend is now left to pick up the pieces of his life and to father their young twin boys.
All of his friends including myself were saying to each other how is he going to do this. We could not even begin to understand.
Well this week I got to be there and witness exactly how he is doing it.
I was witness to COURAGE, LOVE, PATIENCE, STRENGTH. They are just a few of the qualities that I got to see at work as my friend tries to work through his grief.
He is completely devastated by the loss of half his family.
But he gets up everyday and tries to create a new normal for he and his boys.
The three days I spent were a roller coaster of emotions as we talked and cried, took the kids to the park went shopping and just worked at getting through another day.
I am not going to lie or sugar coat things my friend has his worked cut out for him.
But he will get through with the HELP and LOVE of friend and family.
LET US FRIENDS NOT FORGET.
PLEASE CHECK IN ON HIM REGULARLY.
Thank God he has his little boys.......They will keep him present and in the NOW.
They will help him find the strength that he is questioning he has right now.
I am very grateful that I was able to be of service to my friend.
I RESPECT AND AM AMAZED BY HIS STRENGTH AND COURAGE.
I AM HONORED TO CALL HIM A FRIEND.
HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND IS SO COMPASSIONATE AND KIND.
LIGHT AND LOVE AS YOU MOVE ORWARD ON YOUR JOURNEY MY FRIEND.
YOU TRULY ARE AN INSPIRATION.
This is a reminder that sometimes life is dark but the LIGHT will SHINE again.
