Seth’s World View

My dad stabilized in the afternoon. He still needs some work on his valves, so we shall see what tomorrow brings. Last weekend I was all down on myself and self-absorbed. Right now, my problems don’t seem all that important. And that’s good, to think beyond myself. I don’t know how long my dad will remain on this earth, but I can say I love him, as he is, the good and the not. And when he moves on, and even before, I relish the thought that he will be in a place with no more tears, with a renewed body. It’s been immensely comforting today to realize I actually had people to call who shared my burden, and prayed. And it’s an encouragement to my faith that my dad got better, to think that prayer can matter. It’s been a long, tiring day.
