We Know Where He Is

My dad knew a guy. He was slightly mentally handicapped. He loved my dad and they would talk on the phone often.
When he met my brother in the McDonald's parking lot my brother told him that my Dad had passed away. He was sad and then my brother said that now my dad could see out of both his eyes (my dad had one glass eye). At this the man started to laugh. He got on his bicycle laughing and saying, " We know where he is" over and over again.
We would often say, " Dad is in a better place now" with a small tear in the corner of our eyes. Why the tear? For us yes! but there should be smile and a laugh and joy as well.
WE KNOW WHERE HE IS!!!!!!!! Praise the LORD!!!!!! :)

In Rememberance

My wife and I went back to Canada for a couple of weeks. During that time my father had a stroke. He was recovering when we left for Taiwan. However when we got homewe received a phone call from my brother telling me Dad had had another stroke and had passed away.
My father was a godly man. Honest and full of integrity. He worked hard all his life to provide for his family. He loved talking about fishing and football and was loved by many people.
I was happy that I had a chance to say things to him before I left that I needed to say.
He is now with his heavenly Father and will rest forever in His arms. This was my father's belief and hope. Raise a praise to God for this man. Henry David Peter Hildebrand. Dad and Grandpa and a loving husband.
