My empathic aching heart

I have a heartache I have been dealing with for a while.

I wanted to call Helen my Wonder woman to share with her and find out if she had any good words to share and comfort me.

I contemplated for weeks.

I kept telling myself that she probably had problems of her own right now and could do without my own problems.

One evening after work, my heart felt too heavy and so I decided to give her a call.

I picked up my phone and there was a message from Helen waiting;

“Hi sis, Terkuma will be operated on tomorrow, please join me to pray for a successful operation”.

Terkuma, her six year old son as it is, was scheduled for an umblical hernioplasty.

I put my heartache aside and put Terkuma in my prayers.

It’s been almost 2 weeks since the successful surgery. He is doing well and my heart aches a little less too. 😁
