LEGACY OF A JOURNEY

A young man's father just passed away. He is perhaps more shaken because he now has to deal with how he belittled his father and joining the rest of his family how he had let the father know that he was not a fit father. The father suffering from a rare glandular disease which leaves one prone to bouts of unexplainable behavior had accepted that he had "no class" just as every one was telling him. That he was wild and unruly(though he was so tender to his family) and his bouts of sudden frustrated anger hurt every body and brought shame to the family. His condition was only discovered a month before his death, not giving doctors enough time to work out the perfect plan of action. He died playing a game of soccer while resting a bit in between matches! Just laid down and went to that perfect long forever kind of sleep that brings with it peace and anxiety at once! What now? No one expected this! How do we deal with putting a man down for so long for being sick?(but we didn't know!) How do we live with the memory and the pain of not being able to tell him of our love? I told the young man that his book of life just opened up into a new chapter with many blank pages, the lesson is learned if the behavior is not repeated. I told him that he would get his chance of telling his father again about his love for him. But that today is the day of awakening to his own unknown disease which may cause him to display unexplainable behavior. Find the balance my child within by using the very forces that life provide for you. All energies of your life are for learning how to walk this Earth until you leave it. Walk in PEACE! Be a good student, learn from the elders. Judge no one lower than you for their life. Let no bitterness stay in your heart where God's spirit resides and pumps your blood! Walk in humility before GOD.
