I just read my last posting on this blog and think I should
write the very last post. Brad went home to Jesus March the 18th
2019. He was finally confined to a hospital bed in our home and within a few
days could not talk or eat. He was mostly unconscious. But hopefully he could
hear as we sung to him, talked with him and prayed. He was in this condition
for several days. I prayed that he could hear me as I sang Jesus loves Brad and
Softly and Tenderly Jesus is calling “Come Home.”
His memorial service was beautiful with family and friends
speaking of him with great love.
I thought my grief would not be so hard because I had been
saying goodbye for so long, but it was and is very hard. I know Christians do
not grieve as others do because of the resurrection and the presence and comfort
of the Lord. And He is a present help and comfort.
But we feel the pain of loss just the same. The greater the love, the greater the loss, and the greater the pain. As such it becomes a measure of our love, and for this a pain we learn to cherish. Is His Grace,
