I sent my Daddy on his final journey yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n
It had been raining fairly constantly for the few days previously, and I prayed and asked God to stop the rain on Sunday night and Monday so that we could have Dad’s funeral dry and He did!!\u00a0 Praise Him!!!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
After we – Me, Lou, Chrissie, Jay, Deane and Mark (in order – Me on left, Lou on right, Chrissie behind me, Jay across from her, Deane on left and Mark on right) – had taken Dad’s coffin out of the church to the hearse, and thanked those attending, a short, sharp shower came over us.\u00a0 To me, it was special.\u00a0 It was like God was saying, “here, wash away your sadness now.”<\/p>\n
Dad’s funeral went well, or so I’m told.\u00a0 I wish that I would have gotten around to see everyone who came to it before it started.\u00a0 Jack and Lou and Tina Rock were there.\u00a0 My cousins Teena and Bob Bryant drove down from Rocky at 4am that morning.\u00a0 Peter and Mook and Karen were there.\u00a0 Nana Joyce,\u00a0 Toby, even Rick came.\u00a0 Margaret Cook (nee Jacobi), Dad’s cousin was there.\u00a0\u00a0 Kylie from Deane’s work was there.\u00a0 And so many more.<\/p>\n
This morning I went to take photos of the sunrise and the clouds.\u00a0 To my naked eye I could not see this, but through my viewfinder I saw a face.\u00a0 And then another face.\u00a0 Two different faces.\u00a0 I haven’t checked my photos yet, because I am scared that I might find that it was a mark on the lens and not real faces in the clouds.\u00a0 But I saw them when I was taking the photos, so that is enough for me.<\/p>\n
Rest in Peace my Daddy.<\/p>\n
I love you and will miss you always.<\/p>\n
I hope you liked what we did for you yesterday.\u00a0 xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
