Happy Birthday, Dad.
September 18th, 2007Without a conscious intent, this evening I viewed a videotape that starts with a prayer service Dad had at his house a few days (?) before he passed. The first 5 minutes are just that, Dad alive. What follows is a video of his funeral service.
Many thoughts went through my mind, as I saw Silvestre and Seferino, and the rest of my siblings on this video. Dad started it all. As I listened to message the priest offered at the mass, it was clear that I had not listened, perhaps forgotten, that very important message about how Dad’s life, or any other departed soul, would be meaningless unless they left something meaningful behind.
I have to stop here.
