Heaven Sent - 9/11 blog post

9/11 brings back so many memories--such deep sadness and despair. Yet hope. It seems an appropriate day to share with you that my father passed away last weekend. Even though we knew this day would come, even though we knew the evil cancer would eventually overtake, even though we knew how empty the world would feel--we didn't really know. Grief. Anguish. Heartache. Our solace is knowing he is now FREE! Free of pain and confinement! Free to hike through green forests, spot eagles in the far-off distance, free to chop wood, eat ice cream, LAUGH and DANCE! I remember one of our last days together. For a few minutes we were alone, and with tears running down my cheeks I asked, "Dad, when you get to heaven, will you give Drew (my son) a great big hug from me?" He looked right at me and nodded. And that brings me comfort. I love thinking of the two of them together in heaven--sharing stories, playing cribbage, and building bird houses. I know Drew was very, VERY happy to see his Papa again. And I can just see my dad running towards Drew, hugging him tight again and again, then whispering that the first hug came directly from his Mama. Forever loved. Forever remembered. You will be missed--until we meet again. “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” ~ John 14:1-4
