Two and a half years ago I had challenged myself to write something on this blog everyday for a month. Anything. It didn’t matter how shallow or deep the message was…just write.

In the midst of that month our family received the news that my dad was diagnosed, and began his battle with, stage four kidney cancer.

As I write this today, that battle is coming to a close. It is looking more and more like my dad has days, if not hours, before he breaths his last and enters into the arms of his eternal father. I write this to reflect on the words he said when he started this journey, “Why not me?”
