In 1982, I had just become a Christian. I was a flight attendant for Continental Airlines. On June 19th, I was home & watched Dr. Dobson on TV talking about fatherhood, since the next day was Father’s Day. After watching, I was heading back to my room, and I fell to my knees & prayed; now that I knew God’s love, I wanted to share that with someone. That prayer became a seed in my heart, and 24 hours later I met my James on a flight. That seed kept me stable to marry him, & we celebrate 43 years in September. We have listened to Dr. Dobson all through these 43 years with such appreciation & application. We praise God for him & Shirley. Heaven is richer now, but he leaves an unfillable void here on earth. My deepest sympathies to Shirley, the family, & all the others who love him.
