Glad to see God is sending you good news. You have always said that he would have to go completely through the process before he would hit bottom. I am in awe of your faith and calm. I love your student story. God bless you.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
