So You’re Saying There’s an Upside?
Today I got a text from a friend who’s Dad just lost his battle with brain cancer. As I was telling my wife about it my 9 year old, Judah, overheard the conversation. We stepped outside a few minutes later to toss the football around and he asked me about it. As I explained to him that being a good friend meant that we sympathize with how the other person must be feeling and pray for them from that place he got a little choked up. He said “I don’t know what we’d do without you Dad”. I told him we hopefully won’t have to worry about that for a long time. Then he smiled and said…
“Dad…if you die will I get the XBOX 360?” Me…”yes”. Judah….”so you’re saying there’s an upside?”
I don’t think I’ve laughed harder in a long time. How did this kid get my sense of humor?! What’s the craziest thing your kid has said this week?
I don't have a funny comment from a child. I just want to say thank you for providing what we do as a good friend for people that are going through a bad situation. Not more than 30 minutes ago, I was trying to figure out what to do for/say to a friend whose grandma has been diagnosed with Cancer. I now have the guidance I asked for.
