Farewell to a Father
|

“And the father said, “I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know that the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them.”
And the children said, “You will always walk with us, Father, even when you have gone through the gates.”
And they stood and watched him as he went on alone, and the gates closed after him. And the children said: “We cannot see him, but he is with us. A father like ours is more than a memory. He is a living presence.”
