We have been expecting this for about a year, but you are never quite ready to receive the call that one of your parents has passed away. After reflecting on my dad’s influence on me, I focused on these three things:
1) He was friendly to almost everyone. He was interested in them and in their stories
2) He believed in hard work and being dedicated to whoever you agreed to work for.
3) He thought that you could continue to improve and he learned to be a better person all throughout his life.
My neighbor shared with me today that “you know you are mature, when you see your parents as people”. I have wonderful support from my church family and many considerate friends. It is my hope that these life lessons are part of my character too, and are a blessing to them, as well as to my children.
