Uncle Jimmy was in the army and stationed in Germany...
a Christmas so many years ago...
Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Edna...
a picture she gave him before they were married...
my grandparents...
and the twins...
Unlce Jimmy and Uncle Jerry...
can you tell twins apart?...
it's easy...
to us- they look nothing alike...
it's his oldest daughter's birthday...
what a memory this is going to be...
but it's God's plan...
have to trust in that...
even though I do not understand...
but He didn't take him home ON her birthday...
they live in southern Missouri and I am in east cetral Illinois...
so many miles between us...
even though we are all adults...
I am still older and feel the need to protect...
and since I cannot be there personally...
I am asking God to hug them for me, too...
by faith and hope we will make it through...
God's grace will see to that...
Such sweet reminders of who your uncle Jimmy was. I pray you will be able to remember the joy not the sorrow of his passing. Take care.
