    I just lost my daddy 4-29. He was 92 and up till 3 weeks before his death he could drive every day to eat lunch and ride around on his golf cart. He spent one week in hospital and one week at home and passed away after ALL of us went to sleep. I think he knew I couldn't handle watching him take his last breath. He's watched a lot of people suffer and pass in his life time and always said he didn't want to be a burden and have to be in a facility and he got his wish. I miss him so much. I stayed with him for the last 10 years and now here in the house is difficult.

    Dearest Heidi, I'm so grateful that God gave Rufus that final, memorable trip and especially that he got his Fried Okra. What a wonderful woman Vonda is to have made that for Patrick's Dad. That's fantastic that Patrick & his Dad took that trip when they did. Rufus was my kind of man to choose visiting Crazy Horse rather than "the crooks" at Mt Rushmore. Sending out sacred blessings & healing with my deepest condolences to Patrick, You, & all your loved ones. "God is good all the time."

      For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:5,6 kjv
      Did Jesus go to heaven after He died? NO. He laid in the grave days until His Father raised Him. This is a representation that when Jesus comes the 2nd time, this is WHY He will come to take the righteous He will wake up & raise them from their death sleep to take them home. Lazarus is an example that he slept in the grave, Moses is another example also, he was raised from the dead & taken to heaven.

    Having lost my husband 2 years ago suddenly I have gone through a lot and one thing that sticks out to me was that through one of my prayer/crying times I was given the statement that "everyone has their time, no matter where or when but I will bring you through" so it was a blessing for sure that he was with family and enjoyed his time with Patrick and Patrick will remember that trip forever now with a smile on his face. His dad was not alone! God is good...all the time! I am praying for peace and comfort 🙏🏻 Blessings--Tammy

    So sorry for your loss. What a great memory was created and a lasting one with the pictures to pass on to the grandchildren. The most wonderful memory is how your father-in-law was given the opportunity to experience all these wonderul places with your husband. God bless your family and give you peace and strength.

    What a lovely tribute to your father-in-law! Thank you for sharing! We had my father-in-law live with us for about 2 1/2 years prior to his passing at age 94. We literally kidnapped him from the hospital after he'd had a series of mini-strokes that made it impossible for him to live on his own any longer. He'd been alone for 15 years after mom passed, and lived about 5 hours away from us. We'd been trying to get him to come live with us for years, but he didn't want to be a burden and refused. After being with us for several weeks he decided he loved living with us and we were so blessed to be able to spend that time with him. We learned quite a bit of new information about him and the family that we'd never heard before. Dad was always the quiet one, and we'd hear things from mom when she was still alive, so for him to open up and talk so much was quite a pleasant surprise. Some of his stories were like on auto-rewind, but we listened every time anyway because he enjoyed telling them so much! We treasure those years so much. On another note, did I spy a Ford Fairlane in that photo? I'm thinking circa 1967. We just sold ours last summer. My hubby is a Ford Falcon man (that's what he had when I met him, a 1967 Ford Falcon, and she still hides in the shop on our property back in Canada). God bless you and your family!!

    Speaking as an elderly person, what a blessing that he was able to make that trip and to be with all of you in the final days. There is nothing like being with family.
    I know it's hard on those left behind but I'm glad you can find the joy.

    Prayer for you and your family on your loss. I lost my brother on May 24th of this year. Will be going to funeral on Wednesday. I, too, am using this time to relish all the good times and find the joy of his life in this world from all the wonderful people he helped create to expand our family and carry his legacy forward. May God bless you during this difficult time.
