“Now That We Found Love” – Heavy D and The Boyz

We remember Heavy D

The passing of “Heavy D” is definitely a bitter pill to swallow. As “Steve Job” so eloquently said “we all have to die – death is the game changer”. We live on borrowed time but we are bad timekeepers because even though we don’t exactly know how much time we’ve borrowed, we still take life for granted. “Heavy D’s death” should serve as a wake-up call for all of us whose time-clock is still clicking. Only yesterday I saw a tweet from him about the passing of Smoking Joe Frazier and today, he too is gone.

It was reported that “Heavy D” complained of not being able to breathe after walking up a flight of stairs at his home. We should know the exact cause of death as time unfolds but for now, we grieve, we hurt and we long for a chance to hit “rewind” because “now that we have found love what are we going to do with it”?

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for Heavy D’s family, relatives and all his fans – that they find comfort in this their hour of grief.
