I was at a loss for words yesterday but want to add the following.
Amy Dawn is the daughter of Debbie at There's An Angel On My Front Porch. Both she and my grandfather, Pete, passed on this month after long battles with cancer. I had emailed Debbie and would like to share what she told me.
"OUR SADNESS IS FOR OURSELVES BECAUSE IF WE ALL COULD SEE WHAT YOUR GRANDFATHER NOW SEES, WE WOULD BE OVERCOME WITH JOY....FOR IN HEAVEN WE ARE ASSURED NO MORE SORROW OR PAIN OR WEEPING. I AM RELIEVED THAT YOUR GRANDFATHER IS SUFFERING NO MORE BUT SAD FOR YOUR SORROW AND PAIN. I KNOW BECAUSE OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN EMBRACED YOUR GRANDFATHER WILL GIVE MY AMY A BIG HUG WHEN SHE ARRIVES SAFELY HOME."
So it was a bit of an emotional day yesterday thinking of that greeting. The photo was one I took during a brief summer thunderstorm. The song, "When I Get Where I'm Going" is beautifully sung by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton and is an uplifting expression of faith.
Thank you Debbie, for sharing Amy's story of faith and courage.
