Tuesday came early ... we have our weekly 6 AM staff prayer time together. That morning I asked for prayer for my Dad ... for a peaceful, painless homegoing. We had just heard that Hospice was called in and no one knew just how long he would be with us. Later on Tuesday, Dad took his final breath on this earth and then breathed in Heaven's atmosphere, our prayers were answered. (We lost Mom a couple of Christmases back, and then Bud passed away last Thanksgiving.) Dad had Alzheimer's and struggled with remembering what he ate for breakfast.
We continue to feel the loss of our Dad, but we rest in the reassurance that to be absent from this body is to be with the Lord. The songs sung & played by our Mom and Dad will forever ring in our ears .... I've got a mansion, just over the hilltop. What a blessed hope we have ... Christ in us the hope, the realization of glory!
