They will be needed greatly in the days ahead.<br /><br />And you are right -- there's a blessed comfort indeed in knowing that he is completely well, free of the limitations of old age and failing memory, reunited with his Lord and the many loved ones who have gone on before. And that blessed hope that we will see him again, one day soon.

My dad will indeed be missed (as I know yours will be), especially by his grandchildren and some of his great-grandchildren. Others are too young to remember him. He has another great-grandchild due in August.<br /><br />Very true about many of the living struggling to carry on while still having memories of very challenging times. I know that was true of my dad. It takes a certain heroism to do as our dads did and carry on to build a life for themselves and their families, when it would have been easy to bog down in despair and pessimism.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts today.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-26296903679457961592017-05-29T23:15:29.339-04:002017-05-29T23:15:29.339-04:00You were blessed!

It takes a certain culture to raise up such a group as they were. Your dad (what a handsome young man with a winning smile) lived a wonderful, godly life here and carries on in his new home in Glory. He will be missed. <br /><br />A blessed Memorial Day to you. As for the dead and the living...I am certain that many of the living struggled to carry on with the memories of very challenging times. Our dads are no less heros for having lived through it. ππΊπΈVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
