I had dinner with a friend of mine. His father recently passed.
It may be the age that I’m at. We are at the stage where we hear a lot of deaths, sickness, health issues. Joey is a good friend of mine and his father recently passed. I had no words of comfort for Joey because when my father passed, I didn’t feel anything. My father and I had been away from each other for a while and when we had the time to reconnect - we were given only a very brief moment. We had one year - then he became ill and passed.
All I could do was listen. I listened to Joey as he suddenly felt the pain of losing his dad. I felt it with him. In as much as my father and I didn’t have the chance to become close to each other, I knew in my heart of hearts that he loved me. Joey feels the same about his father. They have been away from each other for over twenty years.
This morning, I received a call from Joey and he told me about a video from GodTube.com that he received from his friends via email. He cried his heart out.
I just watched it a few minutes ago and my eyes are still bulging from the tears…read the story first and then watch the video….inspiring father and son story - what a day it will be, when we have run the race and finally meet Jesus face to face…
