A friend of mine was called home recently...

...to be with his sick and aging father. He told me he was prepared to say goodbye to him.

Coincidentally, I heard a really good sermon this past weekend (yes, I go to church, and yes, I even pay attention sometimes). The minister had just gotten back from Ohio where she had been with her own dying mother. She related to us the five things to say to someone who's dying:

(1) I love you;

(2) Thank you;

(3) Forgive me;

(4) I forgive you; and

(5) We'll be okay.
