8 years

Yesterday marked 8 years without my dad. By the grace of God, it's just another day. December 29th is not a day of pain for me at this point. I reflect a lot, and I miss my dad, but I mostly remember the grace of God and that in the end He is making all things new. I do selfishly wish my dad was here to share in the joys of today, but know that the simple joys are loss compared to the ultimate joy of enjoying the Lord our God for all eternity.
