Dad's Bible

After his stroke in July, 1994, Dad was incontinent, couldn't walk, and couldn't talk. He knew what he wanted to say, but he couldn't form the words clearly enough for us to understand him. When I visited him in the nursing home, many times he would be reading this bible. He had it since the year I was born. Though it took some effort on his part, he told me he read the Bible all the way through twice. I hope it gave him peace. He was trapped inside his disabled body for four years before passing to heaven.
