No one really knows what their life is going to be like. If you would have told me two months ago that I would be writing this blog, I would have told you you were nuts. But this is life...
Dad went to be with his Heavenly Father May 17th, 11:08pm (central time). He was only 66.
We are sad. We are heartbroken. Our kids were suppose to be spending the summer with Grandpa fishing and working and getting yelled at. ;)
But God doesn't make us any promises on how many days we have on this earth. He only promises He will be with us. God was with my dad. My dad may have not been perfect, but he was a great father, to many more than just the five of us... most importantly though, he loved his Lord and Savior. This is why we all may be sad on this earth, but we know that dad is with Jesus and is singing with the angles. Who wouldn't want that?
Dad was a blessed man. We will miss him, but we have so many stories to tell... He made sure of that!
Missing a few from our last family photo... :) Thirty-Two in total as of today. Three have been born since this photo.
Dad wrote this song a few years ago. He believed every word of it!
Thank you for all your prayers and your encouraging messages these last couple weeks. Dad was a loved man on this earth!
Love to you all, Robin! He was definitely loved by many and will be greatly missed! :( Now he can play cards with Grandpa again!

I am very sad for all of your family as you are going to be missing him SO much! But I am happy he IS with Jesus and that God made sure he didn't have to live through years of chemo and pain. God bless you all!
