Grief

Isn't our God amazing? Even in our worst hours, He is there for us. My Grandfather passed away Saturday night. And it was the most peaceful death I could have imagined. I can't imagine him passing any other way. God's hand truly was orchestrating every second of it. He spent the entire day in labored breathing and unable to interact with us. But by the grace of God we all got to lay on the bed and he would try to hug us. Towards the end of his life we began putting on his favorite music. His favorite song has always been The Old Rugged Cross by Ernest Tubb. He had been unable to talk to us all day or even respond to our questions. When The Old Rugged Cross came on we all began singing to him. He tried to sit up and sing it and right at the end of the chorus, he just simply died. It was very painless and peaceful. We are going to have a beautiful service for him on Saturday and I am going to try and play Amazing Grace on the piano for him. Thank you everyone for your prayers and love. I and my family have truly felt it pouring in.
