My
Dad died on April 29, 2012, in the early morning. Mom found him in bed that
Sunday morning and we think he had gone in his sleep. His eyes were closed and
he had a strange smile on his face. Saturday the 28th was ideal. I
had received what I considered good news the day before and we were all happy,
going grocery shopping, talking about buying a new grill because the old one
was shot. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and for Sunday Dad planned to
make a big meal like he always did. Evidently something was really wrong with
him; we suspect he had a heart attack and it took him quickly. The visitation
was on May 2nd and the funeral was the 3rd. He was only
60 years old.
Our
faith in Christ is carrying us through and consoles me because I know where Dad
is. Knowing that I will see him again someday comforts me.
I
wish I could write more openly on this blog about how I feel, but my words feel
forced. To go in depth about it doesn’t seem right to me. I can only say this:
life will never be the same again.
To
anyone who has prayed for us, I sincerely thank you and ask for God to bless
you.
