Ed's Story - It Ain't Over

♪ [ somber musical notes ] [Ed Dobson, narrating with slow, delibate speech] I love being a pastor. You get to walk with people in the best of times, and the worst of times. And over the years, I have dealt with all sorts of people and my joy has been to give them a sense of hope. For me, Christmas was really the most exciting time of the year. But that was the Christmas I learned I was dying. [clock ticking slowly] tick - tick - tick - tick ♪ [piano playing softly] ♪♪ When you're told you're dying, and the process of dying is awful, there's not much hope in that. Every human being knows they're going to die. The difference is I feel it with every twitch in my muscles. I feel it in the depths of my being. (young man) Good to see ya, Ed. Thanks for being here. (Ed, narrating) I had considered my life as over. But it wasn't. I didn't expect another Christmas. The doctors gave me 2-5 years. That was over 10 years ago. ♪ [piano music continues] ♪♪
