Sunday, May 14, 2006, my dad lost his life to cancer, and a lack of nutrition due to a bowel obstruction. I may write more details later. But, for now I'm drained. All I have to say is this. My father is in heaven now. He has seen the full and complete glory of God Himself, face to face. He now knows his savior, not only in spirit, but in the flesh.
He no longer suffers. He no longer sins. He knows perfect beauty. He understands so much more than we do now. Not that I want my own life to be cut short, but I long for the day when he and I are together again, seeing and experiencing God's glory together.
If you knew my dad, please post memories of him at http://donwelch.blogspot.com.

David,
I was informed only today about your father's passing. I understand seeing a loved one struggle to breathe, to eat, to stand, and to live. How blessed you are to have seen such faith poured out even amidst the darkness that seemed to take over. My grandmother passed away in January . . . she was so scared for so long. She died in her sleep . . . or as I would like to think that Jesus just took her by the hand and said "Child, do not be afraid. Take my hand and come with me." I pray the peace that passes all understanding on you, Tricia, Janet, Luke and his family, not only now but 3 months down the road when it really sinks in (I'm there now . . . it will be 4 months on Monday).
Mary Beth
PS As trite as it sounds, I hope all is well with you today!
