Dad passed on this evening just before 11:00 PM.. Kevin and I were there when he opened his eyes one last time. We told him about all the people far and wide who loved him, who were touched in some way by his life. We expressed the great love for him that we all share in the best way we could. He looked at us and tried to communicate so much with his eyes, and when I'm better able to I will attempt to put into words what I saw. Just too hard now.
For those of you that said you were praying, I asked you to pray for peace for dad. Well, our prayers are answered!. He is now at peace, and as Paula said "learning all the wonders of the universe." How cool is that?
I can't wait to see the sunrise tomorrow. I'll bet he'll have some color suggestions for the Lord.
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
What a comfort knowing he loved our Lord so much; he definately is asking alot of questions about the universe probably already picked a specific scene to paint. Bet he is singing with the angels as well; you have been a wonderful and caring man in alot of people's world, Bob. May you now enjoy eternity in the comfort of Christ
