My dad had a stroke last week which affected his left hand, he cant grip anything with it but can move it slightly though. It was so sad to watch because my dad transformed into a different person. A more lovable dad, a dad I thought i had lost with my childhood. Its so sad that it had to be this to bring that out in him. He started adding "babe" after my name, taking to me about stuff other than business (wow!), joking with us (he never did this before)talking about a will (scary stuff), I've seen him cry one too many times in these past days. Gosh! I'm crying and typing... My mum on the other hand has to be so strong, taking a bath for him, attending to his needs and volatile moods...sometimes I help her dress him up. Its amazing (for lack of a better word) how my life has turned upside down in a matter of days.
My dad is a very generous person . He's the kind of person that will take his children's school fees to help someone else. This has taught him to stop favoring outsiders over his own family because I can count, on one hand, the people, that have stood by my family in this time. Could this be for him to learn his lesson because I know he never has in the past.
Lord, whatever reason this is for, I just want it to pass. Please....
I just want him to be well, I just want us to be over this, I just want to go back to school soon and start my final year. I just want to be happy. I'm doing his post because I want to look back at it someday and smile.

Oh God, please bring healing. Let us all look back at this post someday and truly smile.
Zel dearie, I can only hold your hand through your blog, but only God will lift you up in this time. Don't worry. Don't let anything steal your joy. When he cracks jokes, laugh and crack some more jokes. Every single second that we smile or laugh with the members of our family and friends count.
And you're right, only God knows why it had to happen this way. But don't think about...don't think about whatever lessons you fathom your dad might be learning from all this, that's between him and God. Focus on yourself and make sure you still grab a hold of every goal you're destined to achieve this year.
Did you take a break from school? :)
