today is my beloved father in law's 89th birthday. he is probably
soaring around the Throne with the heavenly angels who escorted
him there early tuesday morning. i don't know if he will have a
birthday cake but suspect there will be a banquet.
a dear friend told me that his ferocious eyebrows always scared
her. he could be terrifying, but beneath those brows was a sweet
gentleness for those of us 'meeces' like pixie and dixie. in the 36
years that i knew and loved him, he was completely encouraging
and loving.
my husband worked beside him for 30 of those years and enjoyed
the most companionable of relationships. i pray that the Lord will
fill that office space with His own presence now.
my wise daughter exhorted her four uncles to fill those empty
shoes and be the protection and love she had cherished from her
grandfather. big shoes.
they will do it.
love,
lea
