Everything happens for a reason
On Wednesday night I went to the wake of the dad of one of my players, Vannie Tan.
She told me our decision to run our game last Sunday, April 23, 2006 did a lot of good insofar as her family was concerned. She says her dad had suffered a heart attack in December 2005. He celebrated his birthday recently and the family was deciding when to hold the party. Vannie arranged to have the party on Saturday, April 22, 2006, partly because of our scheduled game the next day. She said the party pushed through and the whole family, as well as her dad had a great time.
Shortly after that, her dad suffered a heart attack sometime in the wee hours of the Sunday morning. He passed away peacefully the next day.
As I write this, my prayers go out for the repose of the soul of Mr. Vicente J. Tan. I also pray for his family. I know Mr. Tan is now in the presence of our Almighty Father. He's in a better place and having a blast enjoying himself.
Vannie said if the game was not set for Sunday, the party would have probably be set on Sunday night. The way things turned out, if the party was set on Sunday night, her family would not have had a chance to have a great time with their dad.
I guess everything really happens for a reason.
