This is a journal entry from the day after my dad passed away.
Dad passed away yesterday, February 12, 2025. There are feelings of relief and sadness. He had been "lost, but not gone" since mom passed away. Over the last few weeks he digressed at a rapid rate. He became slow to respond and couldn't stand or sit.
His was a good life. One of dedication and commitment to his Lord Jesus, his community and family. Already accolades are coming in. He was a small man in stature but his desire for you to know Jesus was paramount. He found a binder where had listed people to pray for and his prayers for each. Some were marked answered.
I miss him already, and still do. I miss his advice when I needed it(even as a grown man). It wasn't always something I wanted to hear but it was always sound advice.
Dad, I am missing you but am thankful for the mercy God has provided you. Go now, and visit all those who have gone before. Give mom that hug and kiss you have longed to do. We will miss you both until we join you.
