He is free indeed

With hope-tinged sadness, I write these words. My dad, who battled a rare brain tumor for four years, passed from this life to the next in the early hours of Friday, September 26. He was 65. 

Even though we expected him to go home to the Lord in the next few months, it was still a shock that he was called away so soon. We are grieving, but not as those who have no hope. Through the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ, this is not the end.

It was my privilege to be with him and hold his hand as he passed, and today, he is free indeed.

Please continue to pray for our family in the coming days as we adjust to our new reality, especially my mother and my three boys, who loved their Pa dearly.
