I Have Lived A Hard Life!
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I had walked into the break room downstairs to make some coffee, when I meet an older Hispanic man sitting in front of the TV drinking coffee. His name is Roy. He said good morning in a way that he wanted to talk. First he talked about his mother's miracle. (See the post "It's a miracle!).
He said that he had lived a hard life! He was in the produce business and that he had to file for bankruptcy! His wife had died of cancer at the age of forty-four! And because of all of that he had turned to alcohol, and had become an alcoholic!
He told me that for the new century that he moved to Arkansas because it was a dry state! But I think only the county that he was in was dry. Anyway, he was in a dry county and he didn't have a car to drive to buy any alcohol, which helped.
While drying out in Arkansas, he said that he lived in the hill country between Oklahoma and Little Rock. He said that the Highlanders and the Flatlanders in the area would tell jokes about each other. But he said that it was friendly kidding.
He then told me that he had recently been in a truck accident! Several broken ribs and a punctured lung on his left side. He even raised up his shirt to show me the scar where they had to do surgery.
He was in a comma for a month and when he woke up, he had thought that he had just gotten there, and he wanted to leave. The doctors and nurses looked at him and told him that he had already been there for a month and would be there at least two more weeks!
