He came back!

I watched the sun go down tonight on the beach in such a different place as I had watched the sun go down on the water last night.  I did not want the sun to go down last night, it just felt like something would be final.  Just last night, the world had turned upside down.

I talked to dad tonight.  I waited all day.  It was so good to hear his voice.  He is not fully himself of course.  Tired, sore throat....alive!  It was his voice to me, Shanny.

It is such a strange thing.  To talk to someone you thought you never would again this side of heaven.  I imagined telling him I love him and getting that one more time.  I groaned for that.  It happened.  I got to tell him I love him and hear him say it back.

It feels like he came back to life.  In my heart I was feeling the loss of him.  He came back to life!

Enlarge and increase my faith.  God, you listen, act on our behalf, you are affected by us, and just loves us so much.  He answered.  Yell it from the mountaintop....."He is alive!!!"
