It's so hard to lose those we love. We mourn because we will miss them, because its hard to imagine life without them. But thankfully, we come from a family who prays and has faith in a God who saves. I know without a doubt that Granddad is exactly where he wants to be right now. He is dancing and praising Jesus face to face in heaven, Can't you just hear him shouting "Hallelujah, Praise to God in the highest!"? When Granddad saw his beautiful wife, daughter, and granddaughter there in heaven with him, I'm sure he immediately embraced them and exclaimed at how happy he is to be with them again. God is so good, we will all be together again in heaven. I am looking forward to that day!

I will miss my Dad. He was a good man. I did not realize how much so, until this past year. He did love my Mom and the rest of his family.
