I am actually home from school sitting at my parent's kitchen table. One of my best friend's from home dad died this Saturday. He fought a year plus battle with brain cancer and a cure was not to be. I am angry I am home, not because I don't want to be here for the wake and funeral, because really there is no other place I could be with this going on, but because I am angry that a friend's dad dying even exists. All three of my best friends are in town for the first time since my friend's wedding, for a funeral. How much does that stink? However I am thankful that we have been able to pull together over the past year to support my friend and pray for her dad. I am thankful that he was able to see one of his daughters graduate college and the other high school. I am thankful he got to be with his family for a whole year before the cancer completely took over. I am glad that he is no longer in pain and suffering but is rejoicing with the angels in heaven. I post this because I ask that you keep his family in your prayers as they continue living when someone they love no longer is.
