\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fourteen years ago today, my father drew his last breath and embarked upon a great
\nadventure.
\nAfter thirty-eight years trapped in a body weakened by multiple sclerosis, he found
\nrelease.
\nAfter fourteen years as an invalid who required total nursing home care, he was
\nindependent once more.
\nAfter ten years of not recognizing his children, he could once again say our names.
\nAfter five years too weak to shoot the breeze with friends, his voice returned.<\/p>\n

Fourteen years ago today, the man who modeled so many precious lessons about life
\ndrew his last breath.<\/p>\n

I remember
\nhow he lived with dignity in the face of lost dreams,
\nfound humor in a situation others defined as tragic,
\nrefused to become embittered by his lost health.<\/p>\n

I remember
\nhow his twinkling eyes eased the discomfort of those put off by his wheelchair,
\nhow his weak legs reminded others to cherish their ability to walk,
\nhow his faith found confirmation in the sweetness of his spirit.<\/p>\n

I remember
\nhow peaceful his body looked as his breathing stopped,
\nhow still it lay upon his bed.<\/p>\n

I remember the truth that flooded my soul fourteen years ago today.
\nHis grand adventure has begun.
\nMy father is walking again.<\/p>\n

In memory of Harlan John Stratton: May 11, 1929 – March 4, 1997.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
