What’s one thing you wish you would ever you could’ve done differently

Hmmm. This question is tough. But I wish I’d spent more time with my dad. I could not stand to see him weak and suffering and so I hid. I hid behind my phone. I hid in the place of prayer. I convinced myself that I’d have my dad forever only to lose him 2 months later. If I could go back in time, I’d sit with him in the pain, pray with and for him, comfort him, listen to him, talk to him, and soak up his life lessons and wisdom so I could have that forever

My dad has cancer too. It’s been five years but he’s alive. Thank you for this letter.

Losing a loved one truly hurts, but even in the midst of pain, God remains good and a loving Father. While reading this, this verse dropped in my heart: ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,’ says the Lord, ‘thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.’ (Jeremiah 29:11)"

Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️. You perfectly put to words what some of us can't put into words. Next week Wednesday will make it 10 years I lost my mum and I can also say God is so good.

Sending you plenty of virtual hugs our Big Sis 🤗.
