We lost our children's great grandfather early this morning. Even though I married into this family merely five years ago, at times I fail to remember that he wasn't my own grandfather. He was just so welcoming and made me feel right at home. He even inspired some of my favorite illustrations . Pop was a wonderful man whom I will warmly remember for his gruff yet affectionate manner and family-centered values. He will be greatly missed.
Thinking of you. It's lovely that you have these illustrations as a memory of your grandfather.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry! It is always so sad when we lose those we love. What makes it a little bearable is if we have lots of love and wonderful memories. And he can live on in the illustrations you painted (which are beautiful). Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI read it now... oh I am so sorry for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will find comfort in faith that God is our Savior.
Hartelijke groeten vanuit Nederland.
