A Hole in Bob's HEART, June 26

A hole in Bob’s heart, what does that mean? I have been thinking about it a lot recently. Yes, I understand that a hole in Bob’s heart let the blood clots out to cause a stroke. I understand that they can fix the hole in the heart. But what will happen then?
What happens to what was in the hole in his heart? What was in that hole? Was there something in that hole in his heart? Was it extra love for all his VHHS students, mankind, the down and out, the people in China and everywhere else where humanity is not respected? What if the hole in his heart held malice for all that is unjust and horrific in our world as well, to cause him to extend his generous spirit to make our world a better place? Was it extra love for his beloved daughters and son in law and me housed in the hole in his heart?
I know from experience, after my precious parents’ deaths, how it felt to have a broken heart. I believe it truly can feel like “broken”, so I believe it can feel other ways, what our minds dictate?
Bob has always has this hole in his heart, unlike most people. So, will it feel different? Will he be different? One thing I know for certain, as our Jesus instructed us, “Love the Lord your God with all your HEART and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and, Love your neighbor as yourself. “ Luke 10:27
That, I know, will never change in Bob’s heart.
