Our family is home now after some of the toughest weeks we’ve ever endured. We’ve lost an amazing man, my husband’s father. Our lives are forever changed for having known him, for having been influenced by him.
I can’t spend too long talking about this now….more later.
But we’re back. Supposed to return to “normal” (whatever THAT is), and this may be the hardest part. I’m looking forward to school, though. And dishes, and cooking and cleaning. And laundry. Yes, I am actually looking forward to laundry. I guess because it means I’m in the comforts of my own home again. Something about the daily grind, the thing we all find so monotonous and boring sometimes, is the very thing that we need the most after a rough time like this. We need a vacation so badly, but we’ve said we’re even putting that off for a while so that we can just be home together for a few weeks.
Mending.
Figuring out how to live without the glorious man that Dad was.
But we can’t stay idle for too long….We would get in trouble with him for doing that. No. He enjoyed life to the fullest and he absolutely taught us to do the same. So for now, we rest. But then…..Sea World.
We’ll miss him forever.
Sad and tired, but blessed to have been his daughter-in-law,
I’m so sorry.
Praying comfort for your family this week.
I am so sorry! I wish I had known sooner…And I am still just down the road! I will claim for you this week and in the days to come–Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
