Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.
Thomas Campbell, "Hallowed Ground"

My children's Dad died this morning. He will be missed, but he is out of pain and that is the most important thing of all.

    Thank you for letting us know; been wondering how he was and how your children are handling this- a death of a close one is hard, no matter the age or cause or the current relationship. Continued blessings for all.
