Today my brother leaves his loving wife, Kathy.
He leaves his 6 beautiful kids & 14 grandchildren.
He is so proud of each & every one of them...as he should be! ALL amazing young adults!

He leaves his 7 siblings + in-laws.
But Rod joins our dad in heaven & loved ones who have gone before.
It's been a rough day with a roller coaster of emotions. It's also been beautiful to see my nieces & nephews surround their dad with love. To see, Kathy embrace her husband & others come to Rod's side and give him the best & most peaceful passing. It was everything Rod wished for & in a unique way, through Facebook it brought extended family plus friends into the room with him. We could see the love, feel the sadness, & share memories that were read directly to Rod by his children. We grieved along side them & for us.
It's the circle of life...it's difficult, it hurts & it yet it brings a higher understanding that there is more beyond our time here on earth.
I can only imagine that you're now running or dancing in heaven right now.
We all love you!
I know you are hurting, but the last picture you shared of Rod says it all...he is running and enjoying heaven with no more pain...we grieve with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Karen. I believe that Rod is running & feeling good & smiles down on his kids, grandkids, family & friends.
