What a Day

Daddy, Derrick, & Hope

 Two years ago today my precious Daddy went to be with the Lord.  I long for the day when I see him again.  I grieve over Audrey and Alexander not having the pleasure of having him in their lives.  I grieve over the loneliness my mom feels, especially with us being so far away.

Today my mom's neighbor passed away. Danie was a true friend to my mom.  She provided my mom the companionship she needed after Daddy was gone.  Danie's cancer was strangely similar to Daddy's.  I just have to wonder why God does things.  Why would he take away Daddy and Danie on the same day just two years apart?  Why would he have my family move to Nebraska just one year after Daddy's death.  Pray for my mom.  I can only begin to feel her isolation and loneliness.  I know the Lord has a sovereign plan but it is not clear at this time.  

Yesterday we sang "All I have is Christ" in church.  I remember the first time we sang this after Daddy died.  I know it is so true!
