Heidi, I know how tough it is to lose someone that you love. Even though you will miss him, it is such a blessing knowing that he is happy and perfectly content in heaven with his Lord!
I am still working on "connecting" our families, and I feel blessed that I got to have some great conversations with your dad!
Please know that you are loved, and your family is in my prayers.
