Life has a way of knocking the very wind out of your sails, especially when the unexpected happens. Who would have thought that my father would have cancer unexpectedly? It was unexpected to us but not to his body. Who would have thought that his life would be taken from us so suddenly? Who would have thought that as close-knit as we were that we would have missed all the warning signs that could have possibly saved his life? My journey is the story of a son/pastor whose life was torn over the death of his father. This story chronicles this devastating part of my life and will not only show how grief affected my family, ministry, and work; but also will take you inside of my mental state as I went through the grieving process.
