I was supposed to be in Africa last month. I hate waiting. I am impatient. I hate not being in control of what will come. I wanted the next chapter of my life to simply begin. But I now realize why; I had to go through another journey before leaving for Cameroon. God allowed me to be here for the passing away of my grandfather. And I am so blessed by that gift.
There's a song called 'What Sarah Said' by Deathcabforcutie and the chorus repeats 'Love is watching someone die; so whose going to watch you die?' As grandpa's status decreased, we made sure at least one of us was with him 24 hours a day. There was no doubt that my grandpa was loved and there was no doubt that he loved us as he kept repeating 'I love you, I love you, I love you...' In the end, it doesn't matter what you accomplish or do- it's who you love, and who loves you, and how that is encompassed in God's love.
