Very sorry for you and your wife....Its little things like the story you shared that remind me how blessed/spoiled I am to have the life I have. I admire/love people like your father-in-law for there loyality, sense of pride, simplicity, and way of life..the greatest generation.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe his old Gillette razor can be passed to you and you will have a tangible piece of memory of him that you can use and remember him through
You summed up, in only 5 lines, how we should live our lives. Thank you for sharing and my condolences
Thank you. Personally I do not believe in Greek philosophy about eternal living souls. I think he is in his grave, as dead as anyone can be. But I look forward to the promises in the Bible that everybody will get resurrected in the future, the righteous people to eternal life ( 1 Thess 4:13-18, Rev 20:1-6 ). For him it will feel like he gets resurrected the very same second he died as a dead person do not know anything. (Ecc 9:5)
