In April 2013, Eric LeFurge received a phone call that turned his life upside down. His father had succumbed to cancer, leaving his wife without her husband of forty-plus years, and he and his sister without their hero. Now his father would never ride his Harley-Davidson, play with his grandchildren, or fulfill any of the adventures he had planned. In the eyes of mortals, his death was a tragedy. But in heaven, it was a celebration.
In this poignant memoir, LeFurge shares a glimpse into his fathers life and dreams as well as his own relationship with his dad from an early age to the final days. From Boy Scout excursions into the back woods to family vacations around Michigan to helping his dad build a pole barn and to working with him to restore a 1981 Plymouth Turismo, LeFurge leads others through his recollections of a unique father-son relationship that sometimes tested their patience but most often offered comfort, unconditional love, unyielding support, and most importantly, a shared faith in a loving God.
Dad: My Hero, Our Journey shares a touching story of a sons journey through his memories as cancer takes away his hero father and inspires the ones left behind.
