Finding Faith in Losing

Two years ago today my life was turned around. Feelings of loss, questions about the unknown, and little tiny bits of hope and "what if"s flooded through my mind.

When we think about loosing a parent, we think about them being old and grey. Dad was 50, in good health and lived in a tiny town where fatal car accidents are few and far between.

Sudden loss has us thinking about so many thoughts that are completely out of our control. It leaves our bodies feeling tired and our emotions drained... the only thing left to do is surrender... one can either choose to surrender to the pain, or surrender to God. I think I went through a cycle of each and eventually chose the latter. ​

I find peace in knowing Dad is with our Heavenly King, and comfort in dreaming about his reunion with his dad (my grandfather) and his favorite uncle (Grandpa's brother).
