Sad Days

My Uncle, that I mentioned in a previous post passed away last Thursday. They had a funeral service for him yesterday in Arizona, and will be having a funeral service here on Friday, as well as the burial. It was quite a shock to all of us that he passed so quickly, though I guess it's not always easy to let loved ones go. I can't comprehend how people who do not believe in the hereafter can cope and deal with losing loved ones, not believing they will ever see them again. I'm so grateful for my beliefs and the hope and comfort we all can receive at such times.

I'm so sorry. I think that your outlook is perfect though -- of course you will miss him, but to know that you will be together again is priceless.
