When he was ninety years old my Dad left the farmhouse where he Had lived his entire life and moved in With me. He often repeated, "You just don't know what it's like to Get old." I didn't know, but for 6 years my dad Showed me how to face old age. He kept his brain active by utilizing his Ham radio and reading the newspaper. He kept his body active with his daily Walks and by mowing my lawn. He kept his spiritual being active by Reading his Bible and praying. It touched me to see him kneeling by his bed. He told me, "The Kalbs don't give up Easy." And he didn't. Dad didn't give up until Jesus said it was Time to go. I pray that I can do as well. |
