When Patty and I werė visiting with Monte, my friend and brother-in-law, last Sunday, a day before he died from pancreatic cancer, when it seemed obvious that he was getting tired, I stood up and said, ” Well, we’d better be going and let you get some rest.” He said, “Thank you for coming, that was a long way to drive for 15 minutes of visiting.” I responded, “I wanted very much to see you one more time before you headed off to heaven.” We made eye contact, he smiled, not a big smile, but a smile, and nodded his head. I returned the smile, nodded my head, and then we left. There are so many adventures that we have had together, funny things we have experienced, and conversations about the Bible and life that we have had that I will remember for a long time, but I will never forget that last eye contact, smile, and nod. It was a great moment between friends that communicated so much.
