Yesterday I returned home after being away for five days. My trip was unexpected, but a much needed event. Thankfully, providence took care of the details.
Friday night while my wife and I made our plans for our time together, with Junior being at his grandparents we looked forward to our Saturday with each other. I received a call from my father. His call contained an urgent plea to see me, wanting to see the whole family but being content to see his son. I did not find it odd, but it was something he has never asked of me before.
After a difficult discussion with my bride we decided that the best thing was for me to head out in the morning, since Junior was taken care of and five days still lay ahead. I must admit it was a difficult journey, not just the 11 hours on the road but the unknown of what was ahead.
Thankfully our time together was great. Our discussions varied, but the outcome was summed up with one of my father’s statements just before I left.
“Son, you’re the best medicine the doctor didn’t prescribe” - Thanks Dad.
