My Fathers Friend

Today a great man passed away. My fathers best friend was someone who would give you the shirt off of his back in the middle of winter, even if that meant he would have nothing. He wouldn't take no for an answer and he always put others before himself. In January when they told me that I had cancer, my father didn't know who else to turn to, so he called Allen. I have only seen my father cry twice in my life. Once at my grandmothers funeral, and once at my godchilds funeral. The day he called Allen, he prayed for me with Allen and I didn't know until much later when Allen told me that my father cried to him and told him that he would do anything if only his baby was well. My father is a very strong man, yet the recent passing of his best friend has hit him very hard. He was the person my father would turn to when things weren't going right in his life and he'd ask for prayer. My father is not a devoute Christian, yet he believes in the power of prayer, and to have another grown man to pray with him and to know the trials that my fathers has gone through meant the world to him. I sat with my father today and listened as he told me that he didn't know who he could turn to now that Allen was gone. I didn't know what to say to him, except that God is always listening. God hears those prayers that are sometimes unspoken. He heard those prayers for me when it seemed that my life was turned upside down. My prayers are with the family today that lost their husband, their father, their brother, and their friend. Allen was a wonderful person and this world won't be the same without him. Please pray for this family in their time of need. Prayer is sometimes the only thing we have to offer, and its most times the one thing that we never give. RIP Allen. I know you are an angel watching over me.
