The facts of life

It doesn't seem like it's been 11 days since I was told Dad's getting ready to leave us. He's withdrawn now and doesn't talk much. It's hard to watch him be so restless, but I appreciate just being able to sit in his room, even if he's sleeping. Just to know he's there and I'm there is comforting. I wish my brother had the same opportunity. I know he would like to have it. I feel like Esther-- for such a time as this, we moved from the beauty of Alaska to enjoy the beauty of life with dad for just a few more years. We're on 4 years now, and it's been worth all the heat and the travels of late to see him as we prepare for him to "GO HOME" to the Lord that he has taught me to fear and follow. I'm blessed to be part of this family with a legacy of faith.
