Oh To Be With Jesus

Marion Andrew Kearns July 7, 1929 - January 9, 2009.  My grandfather finally went home to be with Jesus this morning at 12:45am.  It was a time of tears, singing, sadness and celebration.  That seems like too many emotions to put into one sentence, but that is how it was.  He will be greatly missed, but we know that he is no longer suffering.  He was a wonderful grandfather, father and husband who loved Jesus.  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  Oh to be with Jesus, my papaw now knows what that truly is like.

I love the old war photos. I wonder if our grandchildren will look at our pictures and think, I wonder what life was like in 2009.
