Sad

My grandfather passed away unexpectedly on July 7, 2010; he was 78 years old. I know where my Papaw is, I have no doubt of that. The hard part is the ones he left behind. I know this is selfish but what are we supposed to do now? Are we expected to throw a party that he is now at home with Jesus? As Christians we are supposed to be excited about "going home", but what about the people you leave behind? He lived a very long life, and was able to have a good relationship with his children and me his granddaughter, but it's just not fair. On one hand I suppose I should be grateful that he didn't get ill and have to be bedridden, because that's not a good way to live. His passing was just such a surprise that it's got me thinking. Would your family be okay if you passed away tomorrow? Would they know you loved them? My grandfather's passing has made me very aware of how each and every minute of the day is so precious. So my advice to you is to make each day count. Don't use your good china only on 'special occasions', use it every day! Don't only call your family on holidays, call them weekly! See them as often as you can! You never know what tomorrow will bring. I am a Christian and when I die I pray that I will see Jesus and spend eternity with him, I only hope it's a long long time from now. I have too much living to do to go home now. My girls need their mommy. So my friends, Live Well, Love Much, and Laugh Often!
