Yesterday, a young man died in a tragic industrial accident here locally. Why do bad things happen to good people? I don't know this man at all. Never met him. Chances of me ever meeting him, were slim to none. But I feel right now as if he had been a part of me forever. I feel this way as my hubby had to deal with the tragedy personally. This man worked for the same company as he. Yesterday was not a good day. In all the years I have known my husband and been married to him, some 35+years, never in our history of togetherness, has anything like this happened. I heard all about it when he came home. It was a cleansing session for my husband. Not sure if it helped. But at least it wasn't a 100 lb weight on his chest anymore.
Everyday since the beginning of our time together, he calls me or now texts me, and asks if I need anything for him to pick up on his way home. Yesterday, all it said was "I will be late". I had already seen the "Breaking News" appear on the TV screen and heard the reports. No mention had been made yet on the company involved, but I knew then in my gut, that they were talking about the same company my hubby works for. He is the one that has to deal with situations like this. Figuring out horrible puzzles that need to be put back together He didn't witness the accident, but he was on scene not too long after it happened. Other workers were there. They saw something that no one person should ever see. So many lives were affected and are affected from this one accident. I don't think my hubby slept at all last night. Not sure what was going on inside his brain. Went to bed at a reasonable hour, but got up soon thereafter and stayed up. I'm sure he hasn't had much sleep if any at all.
My heart goes out to the family of this man. He was young, in his 30's. No wife, no children. Just close relatives that have stood beside him. He's had issues that he's had to deal with. Looked like he was on the path to finding himself. So why do bad things happen to good people? I'm not a deeply religious person, but I do believe in a higher power and I do believe that shit happens for a reason. I sometimes just don't understand it that's all. I'm baffled as to why his life was taken, and not the murderer or rapist. Someone who doesn't care or have a soul.
Yesterday has come and gone. Today is here, now. Live for today. Tomorrow isn't here yet. Hug someone today and tell them you love them. Who knows what might happen.................
