[QUOTE="OETKB, post: 15956156, member: 187145"] I was with my old man the last three days of his life. He felt strongly about where he was going when he left this earth, just as I do. He died a horrible death with cancer. I was right beside him at the end. Pretty much awake at his bedside the last three days. It wasn't until the last day, when he could no longer leave the bed, and could barely speak, that he said to me, "Son, I'm ready to go." A week earlier we had discussed our mutual lack of fear of death because of our convictions, so I was surprised when he said, "I'm ready to go" so late in his awful battle there at the end. I was reminded of one thing he said to me a week earlier. He said, "You know son, our Creator puts a very strong survival instinct in us. If somebody takes a swing at us, we duck. We jerk our hand back from a flame. We instinctively protect ourselves, and we seek to survive." It was then I understood when he was nearly in a coma and close to death why he said to me, "I'm ready to go." He wasn't giving up till the very end. And not because he was such a strong man, but because it is simply our instinct to survive. [/QUOTE]
