Today we make our final journal entry with a heartfelt thank you to each of you who extended your love and prayers for dad, mom, Dennis, Misty and me.  During dad's illness, we were able to witness God's glory in different ways He would present Himself through the doctors, staff and other care givers involved in dad's care.  
Whenever someone as special as our dad was, has gone to be with his Lord and Savior, it leaves us here to grieve.  However, I was reminded a few days ago that when our hearts are hemorrhaging with grief and loss, never forget that Christ binds and compresses it with a nail-scarred hand.  Christ is our hope that we will all see each other again.  

John 11:25 
"Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in me will live, even though he dies."
