God bless you. You were really blessed to share this. My father died two weeks after his 48th birthday of pancreatic cancer. The last 24 hours of his life he rolled from side to side, moaning. His sister, who was an RN, tended him. He had been in terrible pain for a month since surgery, but when he died his face displayed a beatific smile. He was a true Christian and the most forgiving person I ever knew. We were very close, and I still miss him, but the pain of loss fades, while the memories do not.
A few years ago I was missing him more, especially since losing my husband, when I happened to find writings by Dov Fischer on The American Spectator in which he discussed religions. While he is an Orthodox Rabbi and my father a devout Christian, their belief in God and their moral foundations were the same. I believe that Dov knows Christianity better than most Christians. It really helped me to know how united we are, regardless of our roots. Keep the faith. We will all meet again.
