Hearing what I said， my dad laughed kindly. I continued， “I owe your thanks， and I hope you realize how much you did for me as my dad.”
I could almost hear him smiling one the other end. I knew he was touched and felt a little shy. His voice sounded shaky.
“Well， we got you educated，” he said， laughing generously.
“You did more than that，” I said， “You did well.”
“You like your house now， and your life?” he asked quietly.
“Yeah， Dad， I’m happy. You don’t have to worry—things are going great for us.”
I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me and I hung up the phone. As I got ready for bed， I thought about what an amazing conversation we had.
Ten hours later， my mother called， waking me up. I could hardly understand what she was trying to say.
“Your father’s dead!” she cried. “I found him lying on the dinning room floor.”
Suddenly I was standing straight up beside my bed， holding the phone and sobbing .
I was a thousand miles away. All I could think about was how many hours， minutes and seconds it would take me to jump on a plane and get there. I thought about my mother sitting there alone with my father， and I couldn’t move fast enough.
The flight was long and painful. I had planned on going home to see my dad and mom in another month， and I cried aloud， thinking I was too late. Then I suddenly realized the incredible miracle of it all: I hadn’t been late at all. Actually， everything had been right on time.
