Frank, You Will Be Missed
Today I lost a friend.
Four months ago, Frank was strong and alive. Suddenly one day his voice went out and he went to the doctor. He came back finding out that lung cancer was the culprit and it had spread (stage IV). This morning an email came saying that Frank had only a few days or maybe just hours. This afternoon those hours ended.
Frank and I met less than two years ago, but we bonded into a strong friendship quickly. We worked together and that was what put us in each others path. I was scheduled to go and visit him and encourage him on the 30th of this month.
Though we did not always agree, in fact many times we did not, we never questioned each other about why as we both were striving for the same outcome but our methods were not always the same. This made us stronger. Once in a large forum he called me 'a dead horse' and I responded that I was tired of riding a 'dead horse', but afterwards we were actually closer than before.
Frank was one of the smartest people I have ever known. His intellect was plain to see and his drive was strong and true. He was a good man.
My heart goes out to his family and friends, most of whom have been with him much longer than me and I am sure this will effect them more deeply than me, but it hurts none the less.
As I have prayed for Frank, and asked others to pray for him, I have finally gotten comfort from God that if I never see Frank again on this earth that I will see him in heaven and that gave me hope and peace.
God, please give your mercy and comfort to his family and friends.
See you in heaven Frank!
