Mending - Do you do it?

I was thinking of the myriad of ways we use the word mending. I was mending a hole in a tshirt at the time but got thinking about mending a broken heart, mending a relationship, mending a chair, mending a broken bone, etc. So many uses.

To what is the definition of mend?

verb (used with object)

to make (something broken, worn, torn, or otherwise damaged) whole, sound, or usable by repairing:to mend old clothes; to mend a broken toy.

to remove or correct defects or errors in.

I think we all do mending all the time.
