MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: Being with Papa Tom when he passed away in the wee hours of October 1st was both painful and precious. Keith was holding his hand, and Granny and I were there talking to him and praying. As soon as we knew he was gone…the first reaction was sorrow.
I agree on every comment. It’s still hard on those of us here because we miss them…but it’s so awe inspiring to know and witness that one second they are “here” and the next second they are “there”. The veil is soooo thin.

I had this same experience. When Ken died, some good friends came to the hospital. He had passed by the time they got there. The wife said, “They better get him cleaned up!” I replied, “It doesn’t matter. He’s not there anymore. He’s with the Lord.” Our bodies are just a shell…they only contain us for a short while, until we move on. Sometimes I think about what my own death will be like. I want to live as long as I can, but I also long to be with the Lord. 💙
