Many of us have been touched by those we care about by a seemingly innocent phrase.
Steve jobs allegedly said, “Wow!, oh wow, oh wow.” What did he see? Did he realize the words he spoke would have a profound impact upon his immediate family?
My father told me the other day that we will probably never see each other again. He is acknowledging his death. It drives me nuts that I may not be there upon his passing.
This thing we call money prevents me from seeing him, or moving to help in his last days.
This tears me up.
He has passed before and has only told family of his experience. What he said has had a massive effect upon my family.
I know that being born means we must die. That is a fact of life.
His time is at hand and I believe that he has lived a good life.
It’s like in that Star trek movie where McCoy tells Kirk that he has never dealt with death before.
I know death firsthand after eight deployments and 30+ years in the military. But this time it feels different.
Am I missing something?

What he told family is ...
He saw family beckoning to him, but he felt it wasn't his time. That he had more to do. Hence, he came back, for which I am thankful.
But I have a feeling that was not there all there was to it.

Please do not worry about why you are here. It just is.
I have been told plenty of times that I have made a differance in peoples lives...not always family.
For that I am thankful to help others, but it still does leave many unanswered questions, don't it?edit on 31-10-2011 by TDawgRex because: (no reason given)
