Goodbye for Now...

Rob's grandfather (LaLa's Dad), passed away last Tuesday and today is the funeral service.
I am so thankful that we got to see him in the hospital on Mother's Day.
That was the first and last time that Maximus got to see his Great Grandpa,
until we see him again in heaven someday...

This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
John 3:16 (The Message)

So lovely that he got to see Maximus before he died! And to spend time with your lovely little family. I'm sure you were uplifting his mood in his last days, and making it easier to go in peace! Have a sweet day!

Oh Hi-di, this is so touching and beautiful and that version of the scriptures is stunning...so done in the everyday language that cuts through the heart. So lovely and comforting to know this is NOT THE END! BLessings to you,Anita
