Gone



Dear blog readers,

Yesterday morning just before 9:00 a.m. my beloved Grandpa passed away. There are so many details swirling in our heads as his death was rather sudden. Due to all of this we will be taking a temporary hiatus from blogging for the next couple of weeks. I’m not sure when we’ll be back to it, so for now whenever you check the blog (or would normally check the blog) please take a moment to pray for our family. Pray for peace, wisdom, and comfort in our grief. Thank you.

~Bianca for the family

Dear Friends How my heart ached for you all when I read this post! To have your Grandpa/Dad pass so quickly and unexpectedly...I can't imagine. While I was thinking of what to say to you all I thought of this song called All my Tears by Jars of Clay. It goes like this: When I go, don't cry for me In my Father's arms I'll be The wounds this world left on my soul Will all be healed and I'll be whole. Sun and moon will be replaced With the light of Jesus' face And I will not be ashamed For my Savior knows my name. It don't matter where you bury me, I'll be home and I'll be free. It don't matter where I lay, All my tears be washed away. Gold and silver blind the eye Temporary riches lie Come and eat from heaven's store, Come and drink, and thirst no more It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter where I lay All my tears be washed away So, weep not for me my friends, When my time below does end For my life belongs to Him Who will raise.

The Wassenberg family

Thanks so much for your comment, Wassenberg family. The words to the song are so appropriate. Thank you for sharing it! Although our hearts ache to have lost him so suddenly, we do rejoice in knowing that he is forever home with his Savior.
