"One day we will both feel good"

Father's Day was sad. My Mom's dad is dying, and it's sad to watch. I hurt for him mostly because you can see his sadness. He has the hope of heaven and praise the Lord for that. He says he will miss the people here and is sad to leave them behind, but grateful for the promise of the afterlife. He was/is a great man. A great athlete, businessman and family man. The turmoil in Iran this week reminds me that my Grandpa used to do business in Iran for John Deere. Before retiring, he was "Managing Director of Operations Latin America, Australia and the Far East." I wonder how they fit that on a business card...he traveled the world with John Deere and moved his family to Heidelberg, Germany. My mom lived there for 8 years or so. He retired young and soon devoted his life to studying the Bible, devouring the writings of Martin Luther. He loved to study and discuss the scriptues even more than he loved discussing politics. I miss him already. His body is a shell of what it once was breaking down more every day even while containing the spirit and mind that continue to function. Ease his pain.
