I miss my dad. I think I always will, until I see him again in heaven. Grieving is such a difficult thing. Someone told me once that they believed losing someone was so difficult because we were not created to experience death. And if you think back to Genesis, that is absolutely true. Death was a part of the curse.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
Genesis 2:16-17
At least heaven is going to rock!
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelation 21:1-4
whoohoo!

Hi friend! Didn't know you had a blog, but I'm glad I found it. You are funny, girl! :) (well, not this post but the others...)
Great to hear your thoughts & I love the pics, too!
You look so much like your dad. :) I've never thought about death being so tough b/c it's part of the curse. It certainly makes sense though! I'm glad you have the reassurance that you'll get to see your dad again someday...it gives you something to look forward to!
