Thank you for taking the time to drop by this site. Posted below are the emails I sent out from start to finish to what only began as a simple prayer request to a few friends. As you will see, it became much more than that as I invited others on a walk with dad that led us over mountains and through the valleys. I learned through this journey how important it was to have God in my life, God's word in my life, and God's people in my life. For anyone that finds themselves on a familiar path, may you find ecouragement and the peace to know that you are not alone.
As you read this, please note that this is as it was... simple, raw, and unedited with regards to various grammatical errors. But, what we know in life is that that is not what is always most important...what lies within the heart is.
My dad was a hero to me and I miss him dearly. And as I have walked through this, I know that countless others walk through this everyday. In some cases, there is no opportunity to say goodbye. In this, I cannot take life for granted for I am encouraged to seek to make my moments make a difference. However and whichever the case, I feel compelled to share this with someone, if only to place my arm around them and say...from here on out...we walk together.
Though in real time, this seemed like a quick walk... here, it can seem rather lengthy with several posts. In this, feel free to pace yourself, take a moment to catch your breath along the way, and then resume when you're ready.
With that said, thank you for joining me on this walk with dad.
God bless you! Gunnar
