A good day! Much more beautiful than many of the other days have been for the last several weeks. I can't believe how nice it has been...another thing that is simply beautiful.
Other news of considerable nature...my grandfather passed away last week. It was a bit sudden, but also more expected than not. He was a great man, and more man than most men who have lived in this world.
He worked until his body quit on him. When he was not working, which was seldom, he was at the temple doing the work of the Lord. When he retired, he never really retired. Every day he would walk the several blocks to the temple where he would perform ordinances all day long, as long as he could.
A true man of God, and a true man of the family.
God and family, in that order, is how his life was structured. He knew that the only way to sustain his family in the ways of God, was to serve God as best he could, and let God sustain his family as best he knew how.
We loved him dearly.
I however, am not able to attend the services. My two sisters and I will be staying in utah, as everyone else will be heading to hawaii for the services. He will be greatly missed, but he is also greatly needed where he is going.
God Bless and God speed...
Me

I'm so sorry to hear, but like you said, he was a man of God, and he truly is smiling down from where he is sitting on high! I'm sad you can't make it for the services, but sometimes that is how life operates. Glad you are having a good week though! ;)
The weather these past couple days have been amazing and beautiful. I love fall, the smell, the colors. So very very beautiful.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather and that you won't be able to make it to his service. However I'm certain that he understands and that he will watch over you and your sisters and that he knows of your love for him.
"The history of our grandparents is remembered not with rose petals but in the laughter and tears of their children and their children's children. It is into us that the lives of grandparents have gone. It is in us that their history becomes a future." ~Charles and Ann Morse
I agree, I loved the weather. I love when the Sun enchants us with its Grace.
Grandfathers passing, a grievance I know all to well. But, it is a truth when they are called there is a greater work to be done in heaven. Great ordinances are being worked. And from what you have said of your grandfather, He was a great man, who the Lord needed. And so it came to this. Happiness and Gratitude is all I can imagine to this. Have a wonderful day, smile, and enjoy all the life and Love the lord has Blessed you with!
with love,
