For Daddy to be with our Lord on this Easter Sunday is amazing, in the actual presence of the Risen Lord! As a daughter-in-law, I am beyond blessed to have been able to call him Daddy; at the end he instructed me, quite forcefully, to never call him father-in-law, telling me "I am your Father!" Yes, Daddy, you are, and to witness,along with your precious Jan, when you were taken up in the arms of Jesus Christ, is the sweetest gift of all.

I'm so glad I got to see Grandpa in February when he still recognized me. The funeral was lovely and so moving. I will miss you, Grandpa.
