This one focuses on the sweetest 94 year old man I've ever met. My mom has been a caregiver to him for the past 3 years ... and she has changed his life, as he has changed hers.
Unfortunately he has been hospitalized and in rehab for months now, my Mom visits him as much as she can, and he just sobs on her shoulder, bc all he wants to do is go home. Today was the first day I went inside with her to say hello ... and what I experienced I was not prepared for.
This "gentle giant" as I would call him ... 6'4" ... muscular, strong old man ... was sobbing like a baby, as my mom had her arms wrapped around him.. and he just kept saying over and over "I'm broken .. they broke me." ... It was probably one of the most heart-breaking things I've ever witnessed in my life and has now become a core memory that I will never forget. As I was there, it dawned on me, that I might be able to help.
So listen with me ... and I hope you leave with the message ... sometimes, you can go from Broken ... to Blessed, if you just have H.O.P.E - Hang On Pain Ends.
