People don't realize how much words can hurt
So it was just after my second heart surgery and Joel had found out that they were able to repair. And replace the valve, something they didn't think they could do. He was so excited and happy about this. He reached out to a former friend on here and sent a message. Saying, how happy he was in that he had a feeling that I was going to be around for a long time.
That person told him probably one of the cruelest things anyone could ever say. That he was being unrealistic and he needed to understand that I would probably only live 5 Maybe ten years. It absolutely crushed him.
He was so happy. He was so relieved. He had been worried for so long. And this person couldn't let him have his moment to enjoy the news. Honestly, I still think it upsets him today. Those cold words.
So remember be kind to people. Let them have their moment, even if you don't think it will last.It's not yours to take away.
