Breaking Their Heart “A close friend announces and important decision — a career change, a sudden move across the country, a sudden engagement. You know this is a terrible mistake. How do you tell them without breaking their heart?” Who has a heart that is broken sometimes and what does it take to break a heart just to master one change in life well, you have to be a master at that skill and that whole “juggling different issues” thing, it is next to impossible i’ve been through a lot lately and some of it was bad and some of it was worse and in the process i’ve lost my job, i’ve lost my car, i’ve lost my home come to think of it, for the most part i lost my freedom, i’ve almost lost my life and some of that could be terrible, i’ll give you that and some of it can be refreshing if you decide to look at things that way because with all that can happen you can be liberated by it all who has a heart that is broken sometimes and what does it take to break a heart Copyright Janet Kuypers.
