Remembering Pa

Today, September 18, 2013, I lost Pa. I have known this day was near for the last  couple of months, but particularly the last couple of weeks. My heart breaks at the thought of not being with him here on earth, but I do take solace in the fact that we will one day meet again in heaven. 

Pa was a quite, gental man with a servant's heart. I am thankful that my children had the privilege of knowing him, albeit for a short few years that they may not remember that well. 

Tomorrow, Madden and I will make the trio to Willmington, NC to lay him to rest. I'm sure that it will be a difficult and emotional weekend, but am hoping that it will be filled with great memories of him as well.
