Like most days, today is a day with many years of memories, good and bad. It's Pi day so of course being a math teacher that has been in my memories. However 6 years ago today, I got that wretched phone call. The phone call from my dad that made my entire world flip upside down. The phone call that told me that my dad had many tumors and they were doing more tests to find out what was going on. From this moment on my world has not been the same.
Although this memory is not a memory that I enjoy having, it is a memory that has made me grow. I would not be the same person I am today if I did not go through the many memories that follow the phone call. The memory of dad fighting with all that he had. The memory of my dad sitting Logan and I down and making us promise 3 things which I have blogged about many times. Finally, the memory of my dad taking his last breathe and joining the army of God.
Memories remind me that even though I many not know what is going on, God is in control of our lives. God healed my father even though it wasn't here on this earth. Even though I can't make more memories with my dad, I look forward to the time where I can hear my dad's corny jokes again and reminisce on the many memories our God has blessed us with.
