Good-bye

We waited for hours to hear someone with some medical authority tell us what we knew in our hearts. My father is gone. But I was there to tell him that what I wanted most for him now is peace. I believe he has it at last. And I have no doubt that he loved me. I have no doubt that I loved him. By God's grace, he knows I loved him, too. Thank you God that he did not go until you had made things right between us.

From what I heard from my sister, my mother, and friends of his, the last three days of his life, he laughed so much. He was happy.
