Prior to taking off the entryway, my granddad stooped down and said to me, "Despite the fact that we live far separated, we will consistently be together in our souls."

After numerous delays, my mother and I showed up at my granddad's bedside. His eyes lit up when he saw me, despite the fact that he was unable to talk. After two days, encircled by his family, my granddad passed on.
At the memorial service as I watched his coffin being brought down into the ground, I continued reasoning, "This isn't right. This isn't the way it ought to be. We ought not need to encounter demise."
As we drove home, I sat in the secondary lounge of the vehicle gazing out the window. I was unable to accept my granddad was no more. Unexpectedly, I encountered extraordinary expectation as I considered something he had shown me numerous prior years. Jesus. Delight overwhelmed my heart and a grin broke out over my face.
