This is probably one of my favorite photos from my daughter’s wedding. This man, you see, is my son in law’s grandfather. My family and I have known this man since as far back as I can remember. (Which is why it is so funny that my daughter married his grandson!) He has been a minister for probably close to 50 years. The kids wanted more than anything for him to pray over them at their wedding. Thankfully, he made the trip from California to Nashville and was able to fulfill that dream. This photo was just taken on New Years Eve of last year.
This past Monday, my daughter received a call from her husband’s family in California saying that his grandfather was only given about 24 hours left to live. Needless to say, they left work early, came home and threw some things in the suitcase and took the next flight out. Thankfully, they arrived in time to see him and be with him.
He passed away yesterday evening. Our hearts are with the family and definitely our love and prayers.
Sheri, I am so sorry for the loss in your family. He sounds like he was a wonderful man. I am so glad that he could be at your daughter's wedding. I know you will treasure that always. Hugs, Renee
