We had been praying for Marshall and Bethany to get to TX in time to say goodbye to their pappa. God was so gracious to bring them in and let us all be together to give him the tenderness and love he's given to all of us during his life.
Our family has spent the past days around his bed with David, Candy & James, Delaney, Zac, and Tambi remembering stories of our Pappa and retelling them to each other. That seemed to draw us closer and heal our hurting. Terry spoke at Pappa's funeral about this time between the beginning of dying and the end of living where this shared effort of ministering to him, ministered to us.
He's been released and He's free of dementia, pain, loneliness and all the other maladies of aging.
He's Home.
He's with Jesus
. . . and his beloved Wanda.
