Today is Father’s Day. It’s been a good day. We went to church, and I can’t begin to explain how great it was to worship together. And it was sweet and moving to see so many faces who have prayed with or for us and walked with us through this season of life in different ways, and to hug them and share a smile or a tear.
Several people wished me a happy Father’s Day today or checked in on us. Thank you!
Today has also been kind of strange. I feel a bit distant, or not quite all here, or maybe just exhausted. I can’t put my finger on it. I went to the store earlier, and it was the first time I was really alone for more than a few moments. It was strange. I had a feeling in my stomach, an emptiness, a feeling that at any moment I would just start weeping uncontrollably. But I didn’t. I wish I would have.
Tomorrow we will try to get the arrangements worked out. Once we have them nailed down, we’ll post them here as well as communicate them to certain people who can help distribute to everyone. We’re thinking the funeral will be late in the week.
