My dad, one of my best
friends, passed on last week. He had a
wonderful life and a great death. I'm sure
he's enjoying a
magnificent afterlife
right now.
But I still miss him
greatly.
I always wondered how I
would handle it when someone very close to
me changed worlds. Now I know. My faith
and resolute
knowledge that death is
not an end are worth a fortune. I have no
doubt that I will see him again and that he
is feeling great after dropping his tired
and illness-ravaged eighty-year-old body.
Even though I'm sad, I
rejoice that he is not suffering and that he
has graduated from earth school. I'm also
glad that I will see him again someday and
that he'll be there to greet me when my soul
leaves this body.
It's rare that we
experience such opposite emotions--sadness
and joy--so intensely at the same time. It
took awhile to realize
what my heart was
feeling.
In future articles,
I'll share exciting details about how dad
described feeling in his last words. I'll
tell you about amazing events that preceded
and followed his passing that increased my
faith and knowledge about afterlife even
more.
But now, it's time to
go to my mom's and meet with my family.
Dad's ashes have been delivered and it's
time to write thank you notes and attend to
other details.
I just wanted to let
you know that, even amidst grieving, the
evidence in "Soul Proof" really does make a
difference.
Even for the author.
One last thing. I
learned many, many lessons from dad over the
last five decades. At the time of his
passing, three stood out:
1. Love
with all your heart and don't hold back
2. Follow
your dreams and serve others with every
fiber of your being
3. Enjoy
every moment of every day--even the little
things and the cloudy days
