Odd, isn't it? You can be coasting along in life with not a care in the world, and then, all of a sudden, something strikes you that causes your emotions to come unglued. That happened to me this afternoon.
My dad's dad died 31 years ago today. What shook me was when I realized he had been gone more years than the number of years I knew. I don't know why that caused the tears to start, but the whole thought was overwhelming.
Grandpa and I were of the same temperament. We bonded on several levels. I wish my children and grandchildren could have known him. He spoke often of the Bible. He talked about farm life. His diary was daily listings of weather conditions. I never met anyone else like him. I wish I could have known him longer and better. Heaven will be sweet.
