The weather that day four years ago was a lot like today...
overcast, dreary...
but Heaven was brighter receiving my Dad.
Grief is such an elusive emotion...
difficult to capture in words, and so different for each of us.
It's a journey, for sure.
God gave me an absolutely perfect scripture passage for today:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our troubles,
so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the same comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV
Four years later I still have great comfort in knowing that Dad is free from Parkinsons' Disease and all else that weighted his spirit here on Earth.
I know he is in Heaven, in the presence of Christ, no longer seeing in a mirror dimly, but face to face.
And I just know he is saving a place next to him at the table especially for me.
I love you, Daddy!
Missing you and remembering you...
Always!
