A Life Lost, An Angel Gained
It's been about 32 hours now since Sean died. He recently discovered that he had a brain tumor and went in for surgery to have it removed. He commented that, "This proves them wrong. I do have a brain." His wife, 16 year old daughter, and 4 year old daughter watched as he passed away. If ever there was an example of unfairness in this world, here it is.
People can talk all they want about a fair, just, and loving God. But that's all it is...just talk. Some people will say that God just wanted Sean with Him. Bullshit. If that's the cases, then God is a selfish SOB. He has a daughter who said she didn't want her daddy to be dead and asked if he would be alive again tomorrow. He has a 16 year old daughter who loves him more than anything in this world. He has always been her rock.
A great man has departed us, and humanity is less for it. His wife said of him, "My hubby is Sean, he treats me like a queen, and [no one] has ever made me feel as happy as he does. He's one of the most caring, passionate, and yet still somehow "manly" [men]."
That's the Sean I knew. I don't pretend to have known him really well. He was an acquaintance though, and his daughter is like family to my wife and me. I still here his voice in my head. He was passionate about life and I hope that his family can continue his passion. Below is a picture of Sean with his youngest daughter. Though not his biological daughter, he was still her daddy. I am also enclosing a poem that I wrote upon learning of the imminence of his departure. Sean, if you can see this, you will be greatly missed by everyone whose life was touched (even in the smallest way) by you.
A Father's Love

No matter where we go in life
One fact still remains
A father's love will touch us
And we'll never be the same
When we question things in life
He gives us words to ponder
He is always there for us
To guide us when we wander
He will always catch us
If we should ever stumble
He'll be there to rescue us
When our lives begins to crumble
The thing about a father's love
Is that it never ends
Even when he's gone
From Heaven it extends
It's okay to mourn his loss
Because he is well-loved
But remember he is still
Watching from above
He'll be there in times of need
Whispering in the wind
And when you are feeling pain
He'll be there listening
A father's heart has no limit
To the amount of love it gives
It will envelop you
When you are plaintive
A father's love isn't bound
By the constraints of this world
For it reaches from the Heavens
When it is unfurled
Patricia and Alicia
Sean's love is without equal
This is not the end
But the beginning of the sequel
