Funeral

Well I am leaving tonight to go to a funeral that will be in Maryland. It's a three hours drive or so. My mom is going to so I am gonna have someone to ride with me and talk to. My nanny is gonna watch my kids tomorrow and then I will be home around 7pm. I will miss my husband and kids. I don't like being away from them, but it's only one night so I think it won't be so bad.

I am feeling a bit sad and not sure if I really want to go through the emotions of grieving even though I have been out of touch with this person for so long. I remember him from when I was little and he was friends with my parents and we used to play with their kids. We lost touch with them on a regular basis around my 12th birthday maybe. They were living sorta far from us and you know how life goes, unfortunately, we often drift apart over time. I am thankful that he knew the Lord and despite his suffering physically here on earth he is rejoicing with his new healthy body in Heaven. I have to admit I m a bit jealous that he gets to sit around the throne of God worshipping the almighty God. I am looking forward to the day when I get to do the same. Don't get me wrong I love my life here with my husband and kids and family. I am blessed and give thanks to the Lord for everything he has given me, but to those who worship God and touch the throne from here on earth, you know what anticipation lies within to actually be there in his presence. How amazing. I know Larry is having a blast so I am happy for him in the sense that he get to be with the Lord.

For those who know Peggy, Troy, Bill, and Sam please keep them in prayer as those go through this time.
