My Dad...

My dad lost his battle with cancer 4 years ago today. This day doesn't ever seem to get any easier - it actually seems to have gotten harder. I think about everything that he has not been around for and how much more he'll be missing out on. I think what hurts the most is that neither of my kids will get the chance to meet or know him.

I, do, however manage to find some comfort in knowing that my dad is in a better place. The night he died we were flipping through his Bible and found the following verse marked:

John 14: 1-4
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."
