WHY
What is trust, i ask as over the past few days I’ve been working with a good friend who has been struck by someone who they trusted with there lives, in fact it is there own child, Well early 30’s but never the less, imagine how you would feel if one day this person who you had raised, nurtured, shielded, and trusted all off a sudden turned and spiralled into a nightmare of Misuse of substances and debt.
Imagine how you would feel if you had worked all you life to ensure that this person was safe, and secure and wanted for nothing, and now you have seen massive debts incurred by this person not only financial but also person in terms of life.
I saw a changed person, for someone who had a close call a few years ago to now have this is just not fair, when you’re that close to retirement to the point that during a procedure they stated this will be the last time i replace this bit of equipment here. As we sat there in the having what must have been the 10th cup of coffee, i saw that this once very strong person who was challenge to work with somedays had been broken you could see it in there eyes, you could see them asking why us, what had we done, as we chatted last night they talked about starting work at 16, and there career path to the present day, special times Birthdays, seeing there child grow up to be there apple of their eye to basically have it all blown away by drugs.
He summed it up last night both he and his wife are hurting on the outside but crying on the inside, a brave statement made more so from a person who is so proud and not emotional, you could here it in their voice, and what’s worse is that they will never ever recover from this, no amount of words will remove the pain and heartache they must be in now.
