After 91 years and 79 days on this earth my dad is no longer with us. His last few years have been physically challenging as his body aged and did not perform how he wished. I think that he was still mowing his yard just last fall is a testament to the life he lived. He was a sensible man, an old fashioned, opinionated man. He lived through the Great Depression, he served his country, he worked hard at a blue collar job, he provided for his family. I think he would agree that his life was one well lived. He had a blessed life and he did not shy away from telling others that. He saw things in his lifetime he never dreamed he would. He especially made this comment when he visited us in Italy and we traveled to Rome, Pisa, Florence and Venice along with Bled, Slovenia.
I personally find comfort in the fact we will be reunited one day.
