Sorrow Praise

At 6:47pm, we told my father that that we would see him in heaven and we will be okay. Nothing can prepare you for something like this. The pain of loosing a loved one but joy knowing they will be spending eternity with our Lord savior Jesus Christ.

A special thanks to everyone that came to the house tonight. The love and support was just amazing. We truly have great family and friends. I would also like to send out thanks to all my Facebook friends that sent prayers in our time of need.

I mentioned that explaining my father's condition to Cassidy and Ashton was rough, well that is second to explaining to them that their gramps went to see Jesus was heart breaking. The kids were upset but seemed to settle in...so I thought. We got home and the kids were so tired and when I got Ashton into bed he just couldn't handle it any longer. As I was talking with him, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and just said, "Sorry daddy".

The rest of the week will be rough but I know pop will be looking down on us and giving us the strength we need to get through it. Dad, I love you and miss you so much. Thank you for dedicating yourself to me and our family. You are the reason for who I am today...the reason I put Jesus Christ first in my life and why I share Jesus with my children.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23
