An Easy Homegoing

In his final days, Dad did not reach the full end of dementia. He still had an appetite and mobility. While he had that annoying, and occasionally painful, hernia, he wasn't sick, and he didn't get sick with any observable condition. On New Years Day 2018, he began to go to sleep. It was OK for him to go. He knew it. We knew it. The Lord was calling him home. He slept right into the next world just 7 days later (1/8/2018).

Dad's journey from this world to the next world is the easiest I have ever witnessed. No struggle. No pain. No distress. No confusion. Just peace and calm and rest. Laying hands on him and praying with my sister and brother as Dad took his final breaths was beautiful and divine. When the Lord visited our house, He took Dad to His home where he will always be welcome and wanted.

I agree with King David (Psalm 23), and I also greatly anticipate dwelling "in the house of the Lord forever."
