Tomorrow marks just three weeks since my sweet, sweet dad went to heaven. Despite working through a sadness unlike any I have ever known, God has continued to push and guide and help us find joy. Here are a few ways we've found joy over the past twenty days.
Climbing trees
Celebrating birthdays - Asher & Cy's
Releasing balloons to Grandpa in heaven
Sharing ice cream with cousins
Having a pizza party with Grandma
Mini golfing with Grandma
Making potholders with Grandma
Sliding
And shooting a trophy mountain goat in Alaska.
It's harder than I ever thought possible. We will continue to take life a day at a time, and grieve each in our own way. I'm not sure that ever ends? But I know nothing is impossible with God. I know that He will continue to show us the little blessings and help us find JOY. But we sure miss you, Dad!
Praying that you continue to find JOY each day. Your dad was such a source of joy to all around him; a gift he has given each of you as well. Sending hugs!
