As we are leaving church, grouping down the isle to shake the pastors hand, the sweetest old man started small talk with me. In this small talk, he mentions how he had lost his wife to cancer in March 2011, they had been married for 58 years. Casually, I reached out to him & expressed my heartfelt condolences. We spread out, continued to walk out the front doors; I felt this deep connection! I knew I needed to catch him before he left. I walked quickly to him. I said, "excuse me Glen, I just wanted to let you know it was really nice to meet you!!" I then said, "My heart goes out to you for the loss of your wife," He got chocked up & in his faint voice, said that he really missed her.
I said, " I know passionately!! I really miss my mom!!" I then hugged him tightly!!! We held on for a good minute!! He said something along the line of: how divine are you. I looked into his eyes, as I assured him that I would see him the following Sunday at Church!!!
