I did not turnaround as you did and as a result I lost my father while I was away doing my job. I wish I had that time back!<br /><br />We all need to put into perspective what truly matters in life and make sure our loved ones know that they are just that ...

We have to reassess our priorities, and keep in mind that is never too late to say I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907756.post-1163815368542628552006-11-17T21:02:00.001-05:002006-11-17T21:02:00.001-05:00Dr. Milliron;I hope this works!

It reminded me of the lessons learned from reading Tuesdays with Morrie. Sometimes, people should reevaluate their priorities. What seems important is not as important in the big scheme of life. I am glad that your father had the opportunity to share. We know that death is part of life, and by knowing more about dying, people learn about living. <BR/><BR/>Looking back on life, I plan not to have any more regrets. This wil be a challenge, and an active choice I have committed to following. A question in the book included, "What if today was the day (that we die)?" I plan to live life to the fullest. Positive attitude and positive people are crucial.<BR/><BR/>Relationships last forever even when people are no longer here physically.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to growing with you.<BR/><BR/>Gerald F.

I...Hi Mark. Wow your blog brought tears to my eyes. I don't believe I realized when you were with us in February '05 that this was in the middle of your dad's battle. As you approach the anniversary of his return to the Lord I feel with you the void that losing him has left....what is so hard is that nothing can ever fill it. I miss my dad so very much and I know the hole inside will never be filled. How cool that you turned back that day at the airport....and that you and your siblings had those moments with him that wouldn't have been had he been able to work the last 18 months. May your experience inspire all of us to be "obedient" to that still small voice inside, our gut, that is rarely of this earth...so that we don't miss a moment that just may have to last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing Mark. ~ THAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
