THE BEAUTIFUL
SHORT FILM:
It was after twenty-three years of estrangement... the night my father died. I was sitting and praying next to him in his bed. He woke up, looked over at me, sat up, and looked toward the ceiling with wonder in his eyes. He looked at me again and said, “Isn’t it beautiful?” Looking back up at the ceiling, he slowly laid down, closing his eyes.
Later that night, my dad left this planet for The Beautiful.
