Today is the 2nd anniversary of my dad’s passing. Two years ago I had the privilege of spending the last 12 days of his life with him. The very last thing we did together was recite bible verses, him by memory me by reading. When he became too tired to continue, he asked me to read to him, my choice. I chose Hebrews 11, Faith in Action.

It’s now a tradition that on the morning of November 30th each year, I read the entire chapter out loud to him again. It is a wonderful reminder of the man my father was.
He was never a millionaire in money but was one in friends; he never owned a super fancy car but he always had transportation; he never had a closet full of tailored clothes but he always had something to wear; he never had the highest grade steak but he always had food to eat; he didn’t have a perfect life but was married for 45 years and had 2 children who married and gave him 4 grandchildren.
Ask me today what kind of life I hope to have when I reach the end, my answer is “I want to be as wealthy as my father was.”
