Four days in LB is always good for
the soul. It seems as though CHRISTmas
was about six years ago. There are
moments that I doubt our special LB
is the best place for our little family to
visit, but it was most necessary for
us to visit there as we had a most
special ceremony and spread our
special Dad's ashes in the ocean.
We were all dreading that moment
so much . . . we even toyed with the
idea of bringing them back home
with us and making another trip to
the beach to scatter them when we
felt more ready. After a totally restless
night just thinking about the next
day, Grandy, all of the boys and I
all jumped out of bed at 3:00a.m., grabbed
the special box, and stumbled down to the
beach. With a TEARFUL so long and a
very special circle of prayer, we scattered
our Dad's ashes in one of his most
favoritist places. It is always pretty
difficult for us to leave LB, but today
really tugged at the old heart strings.
Someone very special is missing from
our lives. We are depending on our
Jesus to show us the way and illuminate
our new paths that we must now travel.
We are confident in God's promises and
do so look forward to fulfilling the plan
that He has laid out before our family.
So long . . . only for a brief moment.
