You Need a Mate

I’m finding my operating at sub optimal performance levels enlightening. The Vorlon Wife has been my rock. Not only does she follow up on my condition, but when were at a client site last week, she interrupted my training to make sure I didn’t work through lunch.

I don’t know how someone could go through my little rough patch without a “mate.”

I’m reminded of a documentary I recently saw on TV. It interviewed survivors of a WWII Japanese POW/Work Camp. The Japanese latterly worked the prisoners to death as well as providing only the most minimal humanitarian care.

One of the survivors that was being interviewed said that the only hope one had of surviving this hell on earth was if you had a mate. There were many Aussies in the POW camp. He said if you had a mate, you looked after each other. You treated each other’s wounds and did what you could to help each other. If you had no one, you’re chances of survival plummeted.

I thank God daily that I have the Vorlon Wife to fall back on.

It is through trials & tribulations that bring husband & wife closer together in life. We become more appreciative of each other in our case after 62 years of marriage. There have been a lot of bumps along the way but the love we have for each other & family have held us together. The magic word is LOVE.

You and I are very fortunate to have good ladies that stand by us.
