I wish I could have met him. <BR/>I love the photo at the end.

Like you sa...Like you, I do not care for viewings. Like you said, I don't find closure in an empty vessel. However, this time of year more than any other, I am reminded that I do find closure in the empty tomb.<BR/><BR/>I much prefer to follow the advice given by Sullivan Ballou to his wife Sarah in a letter shortly before the First Battle of Bull Run. He said, "Sarah, do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again." Although he died in that battle, I am sure that they did meet again. I am equally sure that I will meet again with all of my loved ones who have passed through the veil before I do, and that I will be there waiting for those who follow me.<BR/><BR/>You are in the prayers of your friends. Never forget that.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162712908716501609noreply@blogger.com
