What a day! Sad news and even "sadder" news

It was quite an odd day today.  I feel like I've been run over by a semi.  Kelsey is leaving early tomorrow morning for Northern California to compete with other choirs up there.  Sort of a dry run for her leaving for college this Fall.  When did she get to be all grown up?  (big sigh)  She'll only be gone til late on Sunday, but...  Running around getting things ready for my dd's trip...last minute stuff.  Then a dreaded email arrived from my Dad telling me that my Great Uncle was back in the hospital.  He was 95 and the most adorable, intelligent gentleman you ever did meet.  He was also an Atheist and it was difficult for me to think of him after his death.  I can only pray that the Lord brought someone or something to his mind and he was ready to accept it before he passed away.  Without being able to share with my dad that he was in a better place, I had no words of comfort for him.  My dad thought of his Uncle like a father.  I ache for him now as he grieves for him.  Kind of a solemn feel to our house tonight.  From JoJo's Purple Crayon...

I'm just catching up from falling behind. When I saw this I wanted to leave a comment for sure. So sorry about your great uncle. We've had similar situations in our family. My whole side of the family does not have a relationship with Christ. It's tough. I'll be praying for your family to have peace. Again. . .so sorry.
