At Peace

We will be burying my FATHER-IN-LAW in a few days.  43 and a half years he was my other Dad.  Almost a year to the date of my Mother-In-Law's death, he passed away.  I am so tired I cannot see straight.  

I have been going through photos trying to find pictures of him with his Wife, Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren to show at the service.  Pictures of him flying planes he made, model trains, fishing, etc.  A bit overwhelmed. 

This alone is emotional.

Since December 2016, three of our Parents have died.  Three.  
Grieving.  What can I say... I'm grieving.  

My Dad passed in December 2016.  
My Mother-In-Law in January 2017.
My Father-In-Law in February 2018.

The 7 hour drive to Oklahoma was long.  We were able to visit with him the afternoon before he died then attend a Hospice meeting.  He had been fighting Stage 4 Lung Cancer in both lungs.  Visited him the evening before he passed as well.  

My Husband's brother called us the next morning at the Motel to tell us that he thought Dad was dying.  He passed as we were driving to his Home. 

My Brother-In-Law said that when he walked into Dad's bedroom to ask him if he were awake, he said Dad was looking around the room, he gasped and was gone.  Peacefully he went to be with The LORD.

The entire time he was suffering, he never seemed angry, afraid or complained.  After his wife died, he missed her terribly and wanted to die on the anniversary of her death.  This is when he truly wanted to die.  2 days later he departed from this world and entered into Heaven.  He received Christ as a 60 year old man.  He was 87.   

The Hospice Nurses were there before us.  The oxygen tubes had been removed as he was laying in his bed covered with a quilt.  He was gone.  Made his entrance into Heaven.  

There's much to think about.  Much to do. 
Appreciate prayers,
