Nothing left unsaid

In an hour or so, Cindy and I will leave for Ohio to (in the best case) walk with my Dad through his final hours here on earth.  We found out six weeks ago that he has an aggressive and advanced form of cancer, and it appears that this cancer will win a (temporary) victory in the next few hours or days.

There are days and days of conversations that I still want to have with Dad.  And yet there is nothing important left unsaid.  Dad’s faith is strong and his mind is sharp.  I have no doubt of his love for me, and I’m sure he has no doubt of mine.

I can’t tell you how important this man has been in my life.  If MY life, ministry or friendship has had any kind of positive impact on you, my Dad deserves much of the credit.
