So I called the the hospital hysterical and in tears to figure what the hell is going on. Apparently a valve in daddy's heart split and he's had a temporary cow replacement until he can afford a mechanical one in a few years. Well the crazy man gets on the phone: "Sorry your present will be late this year princess! Didn't mean to let you down." And I fussed at him and told him not worry about such a silly thing like my birthday; and the only way I'd be disappointed is if he didn't get better. "Don't worry pumpkinhead, I'm fine. I made it out just fine. I'm blessed and divinely favored." Of course what could I say was "Yes, Daddy." But I was thinking either they've doped him good, or I just don't understand anything anymore. I love my daddy so much and sometimes I just can't understand how he can think this way. It worries me. And makes sad that for all we agree on this is something we'll never eye to eye on. And all I want is for him to see 250 years old, and scold his great great great grand children. Sigh.
Sounds like your dad has seen God working in his life in some way shape or form. For him he has been given all the proof and or conformation he needs to know God is there and is watching over him for a little while more. It's not about the valve but the reassurance he has been given to 'finish' what he needs to do so that he can move to the next life with no regrets. Apart of that is sharing with you the 'normal flavor' of what is important to him. Your birthday and him not getting you your present on time. Why is he worried about that? Because he knows 'the big things' are taken care of, even if you don't.
