He is taking with him the following items: a) His reading glasses, two pens and his prayer journal clipboard. b) The cowbell in case he needs me for something, tea, coffee, etc., c) a small flashlight to see in the dark, d) His prayer shawl made by his brother's church e) a bible.
I cannot bear to part with his mealy watch, ring or his "grandpa" pocket watch. To bury it would be to bury my heart along side. Neither can I part with his good reading glasses. I am sending the old pair.
He will be wearing white linen pants, a white embroidered shirt made of pure linen and brown leather sandals and his Cross. He will have on new underwear.
I said goodbye this morning. I said, "bye honey. Meet me at the gates ok?"
I am watching his chest as he breathes. He is in a coma. One of these will be his last.
What a journey that Hans had taken. We cry for his leaving but Our heart fills of joy in knowing that we will meet again at the gate someday. In my prayer, I had a vision of Hans waiving at us with a big smile on his face. He is THERE...
ReplyDeleteHe breathed his last at 6:13 PM. By faith I believe that he is there. Hallelujah!
