Taking a day off from work yet again on this, the fourth anniversary of when Joe Hayman died.
Yesterday I’d downloaded Angel of Nanjing on Amazon Prime and watched it on my long commute home. I’d seen something about this man on a shorter video sometime ago. This was closer to an hour in length and showed that he is merely a caring person with no professional training. Equipped with a big heart and scooter, he rides out onto the bridge that crosses the Yangtze River where many end their lives by jumping. Cheers to him for making the effort and as of the video’s creation, saving 300 lives in a country where nearly 300,000 die by suicide each year.
I’ll probably go on a walk in nature alone to reflect on the good times we had together when he was younger and, continue to have a more accurate review of the sad dark changes that came into his being surrounding him with heaviness and despair.
Like I’ve mentioned before, I’d love to hear from someone else who knew Joe in his early or later years to share some story about his life via the contact section on this site.
