My father passed on May 18, 2009 at 04:55 hours. My wife's father passed on May 31, 2009 at 06:30 hours.

I have my days, yet the worst part about the past few weeks is that I can not do anything to ease the pain that my wife and our mother's are experiencing.

All I can do for them is be there to comfort them. 2 Corinthians 1:4.

After the service for my father-in-law, I told my friend and fraternity brother, Kenny Bowe, "I'm tired of being strong." However as soon as I said it, Kenny said "yeah" and patted me on the shoulder and I heard my conscious say "oh yeah", but I heard God say "Be strong!" Psalms 29:11.

Before my father got sick I trusted the Lord. When he told me that he had bone cancer I trusted the Lord more.

When my father went into the hospital with a very bad cold, that later turned into pneumonia, I trusted the Lord even more.

When my father-in-law had a stroke two days later, I trusted the Lord even more.

When was on the way to a men's spiritual retreat with my church and my mother called to tell me that my father has been moved to ICU, and I told the bus driver to drop me on the side of the road and he did, I trusted the Lord even more.

When my wife told me that the doctor's said that my father-in-law is paralyzed below the waste and his left arm and that. We would have to eat through a feeding tube, I trusted the Lord even more.

When my wife told me that that my father-in-law got pneumonia while recovering from his stroke, I trusted the Lord even more.

When the doctors told my mom, my sister and me that my father has acute leukemia and at the state my father was in that he could pass at any moment, tomorrow or next week and that they done all they could do, I trusted the Lord even more.

When my mother called me the morning of Monday May 5, 2009 and told me that my Dad passed, I trusted the Lord even more.

When my wife told me that the morning of May 31, 2009 that her father passed, I trusted the Lord even more.

I TRUST THE LORD. Proverbs 3:5-.

I LOVE MY DADS!
