We say goodbye, God says Hello

Nan passed away over the weekend. Thankfully she had been resting and mostly sleeping for the past week so she was as comfortable as could be these final days.

I was able to make it down to Owatonna last Wednesday to say my goodbyes. She was sleeping when I was there, but I had a few minutes alone with her. Just held her hand, talked briefly to her, told her my kids and I love (present tense, not past, never past) her. She briefly, barely opened her eyes, but it was hard to tell if she was even awake or if it was just an involuntary thing.

She lived a good life here and now is experiencing a better one with God and back with her husband.

Thank you to those who have expressed your care, even before the final day.
