A Temporary Vessel

That's not your father lying there. That's simply a temporary vessel from the Lord, a spare. His soul is in Heaven with his lovely wife. He's no longer in pain in this worldly life. He's risen to Heaven to be with our Father. His blindness and weakness no longer a bother. He's made new again; he can see, he can run. I promise in Heaven, he's having way more fun. He was a blessing to many here on this earth, and he loved his family for all he was worth. We will laugh, we will cry remembering his many years. We will mourn and shed all of the emotional tears. We thank you God for his time here with us. But, we know you now need him more than us. We will see you again, only next time will be greater. We'll not only see him, but also our Creator.

Thank you for sharing this. It really shows the bittersweet feeling of missing a loved one, but trying to make peace with the fact they're in a better place.
