“Death leaves a memory no one can heal”.
Description
It’s painful to think that today marks a decade since my Dad passed on. Losing him broke & altered me at the very core of my being....
I watched as both my parents endured intense & incessant pain being sick. The indescribable agony on my ill Mother's face as we buried her firstborn son & my only brother, who died recently & unexpectedly, haunts me still...
But again it is a blessed memory for me when I think of the life my parents lived.
In them i saw the quality of true faith in God.
My Dad! well he was the best father anyone could ask for. Forging a great name & path for us till his last breath. In his last days, he would make promises which i knew his earthly body might not allow him to see through.... , but i received them. I knew God honored His General's heartfelt desires. Like the true hero of faith he was, he passed away on his knees praying.....
My Mom, even on her deathbed you could hear her whispering her potent prayers, which she was known for. These powerful & many other memories will remain with me forever, knowing the invaluable ability they impacted into my life. The legacy they left and the gospel they preached has made me who I am today. Their prayers and admonitions guide me still to this day. All my progress and achievements in this life i give them credit....
Mom and Dad! Thank you for preparing me for most of what life would throw at us in your absence. It is true the world and its people changed in a minute. But God!!! only your God remained the same....
Through Christ who gives me strength, I carry on in the service of our Lord and Saviour. I am blessed to be your son & I’m so glad you are grandparents to my children. Your memory will not die with me…
Till We Meet Again, Rest in Eternal Peace.
Your Loving Son
