Sometimes I think people know they are going to die before they do so. They just have this feeling that something isn’t right and that they can’t fullfill an obligation so they call to tell you so you will not have to depend on them if they don’t make it. Sometimes I wish that we could all live forever…but im sure after a while we would get tired of one another.
This happened to a really close family friend and church member yesterday. We got a call from CM yesterday afternoon to tell dad that he wasn’t going to be at church on sunday and needed for dad to take over for him. We got a call this morning that he died this morning. It was an almost surreal thing. He seriously just called dad last night. But he had really bad heart problems and it finally gave in.
Im not sure if I should mourn or not. He lives a great life and was truly a Godly inspiration. Everyone loved him and looked up to him. My dad especially. Dad doesn’t know yet. He wasn’t here when we got the call. Of course I was the one that had to answer the phone call from PP. Life can hit you pretty hard sometimes.
But for now Im going to remember the great man he was and know that he is kickin it with Jesus. You know…they are probably talking about how he can help with Sunday School…..
