My dad died in 1999. Yesterday, his soulmate joined him in heaven after going peacefully to sleep amongst a room full of loved ones. May they both live joyfully in the presence of God forever. Moms probably enjoying the sounds of the water lapping on the hull as she reads while pop fishes. Life is glorious! ******Excerpt from the poem the dash by Linda Ellis:What mattered most of allwas the dash between those years.For that dash represents all the timethat they spent alive on earth.And now only those who loved themknow what that little line is worth.For it matters not, how much we own,the cars…the house…the cash.What matters is how we live and loveand how we spend our dash.
