Final Journey

Dad left this world around noon today. He had a hard night last night....and he is resting now. One of our angel nurses told me last night that sometimes it just takes a little longer to prepare their special place....and that we could take comfort in knowing that his special home was being prepared for him....and they were not quiet ready for his arrival. The finishing touches have now been completed....his home has now been prepared.....and he is standing amazed at the throne of God. I can see him young and healthy....with bright blue eyes.....and a cowboy hat cocked to the side a bit.....looking over a nice little spread....
The funeral ...or celebration of his life will be at 10:00 on Monday in Rising Star....that is what we are thinking right now. Memorials to Christian Homes of Abilene will be requested rather than flowers. That is where Guy and Cheryl adopted Haley....therefore, it is a special place in the hearts of our family.

We have felt all the prayers and love that has been offered over the last week. Last night was the last leg of this journey.....and we are so filled with joy that Dad has reached his final destination. God is so good.....and He has been right beside us every step of the way.
