Driving west on I-90 for a joyful reunion of aunts and uncles,
cousins, parents, grandparents to celebrate the life well lived of our 97-year-old
Papa Ernie
who moved to Heaven on February 22.
We will EMBRACE – hugs, memories, challenges of coordinating
a zillion family members into multiple group events – Lots of opportunities to
EMBRACE.
But, hopefully we will EMBRACE fully the memories and the
joy of the legacy Grandpa left us with – find the fun, ponder the deep things, love God, love each other, the Gaither’s songs are still
relevant, Jokes are Funny no matter how many times you tell them, know who you are, who you aren’t and most important to him: know you’re
loved. Every day, all the time. Even when you do dumb stuff.
He held Grandma's hand all the time. This is the most recent picture I have from October 2016. They embraced life together. Every day they had. Together.
My part in carrying on his legacy - EMBRACE life and EMBRACE each other.
What a wonderful celebration of embrace, and what a legacy you have to embrace and give. Yes, the "old" songs are still relevant. Visiting from #38.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for your words & heart. Thank you for remembering. Thank you for all the embracing you do every day.
