I can’t believe that I am even about to type this. It doesn’t seem real yet… how can it be?
My Grandpa, Jack Bowling, passed away this morning at 9:20 a.m. His heart grew weaker throughout the evening following his surgery, and he went to sleep in peace. I have no doubt that my grandpa has transitioned from this temporal life to one of wholeness with his Maker… for that, I am thankful.
There is not a fiber in my body that is not one of the following: sad, angry, confused, bitter, exhausted, or in denial. It just doesn’t seem fair… I am unable to imagine: Life without grandpa, Mary without Jack, family functions without our patriarch.
I can not believe that this picture was just taken last Friday. We were all in Daytona Beach eating at one of our favorite little fish places right next to the ocean. We spent the whole day out on the town…. gift shops, the mall, dinner, etc… I will be eternall grateful that Jen and I were able to go to Florida last week.
I beg each of you to focus your prayers on my grandma, and the rest of the family. They have known each other since they were 16 years old…. I can’t imagine knowing someone that long, let alone losing someone you’ve known so intimately for that long. Our family is very close… I have no doubt that the love and nurture will be there for my grandma, but it will not make the pain go away. We spent the whole evening with the family… it was so hard, everyone is devestated. Please pray for us.
