Just got a youtube playlist on and this song popped up. Hit home just a little. The second verse. And for those Isagenix people on here its a big part of my why A couple of weeks ago I went and saw a dear friend of mine. Since I moved its nearly an hour in between the two of us, sure its not that far add on a 6 day 70+ hour working week trying to find the time is hard and yeah there re probably some excuses chucked in there too or just laziness who knows. I know this friend of mine has been battling pretty bad. For those who dont know I survived one hell of a gnarly car accident a few years back. When ever I look at those pictures I still have no idea how I walked from it, even with a long recovery period, minus some vision issues and back pain and half my teeth smashed in half Im pretty normal now. After this I couldnt work, couldnt receive government assistance long story short, I currently have a poor credit rating from not being able to repay my loan which defaulted from no income, Im blacklisted from the rental market, and I got divorced. My life turned literally upside down. This dear friend of mine, whom at the time was more a mere acquaintance took me under his wing, put a roof over my head, fed me, helped me recover in so many more ways than one and asked for nothing at all in return. Over the years, I have learnt so much from him, I wouldnt be where I am now or the person I am now without this person. Now whilst all this giving was being done, over these years he had suffered the deadly cancer now for the third time. This person is not like you or I and has far from a normal life, has been through more than Id wish upon anyone and comes out always on top and still has the heart to just give and give. This third time, he was really down, stubborn like myself its impossible to get any emotion out of him. But finally I cracked the wall. He told me hes not doing anything to fight the cancer this time. No medication, no treatment he was going to let it take him, he was giving up hed had enough. We had a big D&M and still there was nothing I could say or do which was going to change his mind. And I admit it was pretty heartbreaking at the time. I dont know what had changed but a couple of weeks later, treatment started a new lady in the life a smile again turned around. Conquered, again. Just a pure warrior. To today, living off nothing cannot afford a thing, so behind in the rent, business may aswell be collapsed. Everything falling down around him. So I finally got off my ass and went and saw him. So miserable and emotionless this was new to me. I was on my way to a dinner so I didnt have heaps of time but we talked for some time I was late to dinner, but as I was walking to my car there was still no satisfaction from him from our catch up. Little did he know I still had something coming. As we said our goodbyes and usual brotherly embrace, I had $500 in my hand that I slipped into his. We are very close and to this day Ive never had such a warm embrace or sense of relief from him. Which truly showed me how much trouble he really is in. The whole point Im trying to make is, people can say theyre ok. They can come across ok, but there is so much going on you may be unaware of. So, take a little extra time to listen to those who are close to you, pay extra attention and go out of your way to see them. Life is to short. I know you wont be able to read this mate, but I love you as a brother and a big father figure to me. Id give you the world if I had it to overcome whatever burden you are in, and Im trying to make life changing choices to help this. Stick in there and together well pull through and conquer the world once again. youtube/watch?v=FCT6Mu-pOeE
