Papa Cado’s Mailbox – Question 18
Are you afraid of dying?

I’ve been close so many times, I don’t even think about it anymore. When the time comes, the time times. In the meantime, I told God “you created one tough old buzzard, and I’m not going down without a fight”. Even though I’ve won more than I’ve lost, my friends think it’s mostly B.S. Politely, they smile and say, “Arthur, you sure can tell a tall story.” If that’s not enough, recently, my cardiologist complimented me on my grit and determination. He said I was one patient “he would never forget.” My response was “Whoa, what makes you so sure I’ll go before you. Ain’t no guarantees in life.”

Read Papa Cado by M.G. Crisci – God selected a humble, ordinary man named Arthur Mercado—known merely as Papa Cado by his four granddaughters—to take an extraordinary roller-coaster ride through a life filled with “little” tests.
