Life Goes On

This morning is my brother-in-law, Ken's funeral.

I know the church will be filled with family and friends.

We will all be reminded how he was such a good person

and how he loved to sit and talk/discuss just about anything.

His death has left a very real hole in his children's lives

and that of his grandchildren.

On Monday evening Ron and I dropped by his daughter's home.

She, her husband and their two girls, were doing the best

they could considering what the past two weeks has brought them.

Here are a few photos of our visit:

This is Smokey, a Mini Rex rabbit they have had for about three months.

It is the softest little thing I have ever felt.

And very friendly and curious.

These are tulips that were being encouraged to open just a little

for the upcoming service.

Their colours exuded a brilliance and hope for the future.

Yes,  life does stop and take a different turn.

This turn creates a new 'track' or 'road' on which we move forward.

Life needs to go on.
