My grandfather would have been 99 years old tomorrow. He was spunky and lived independently until February of this year. He was a fitness and health fanatic! I believe (along with being blessed with good genes) this attributed to his long life. However, in the past few months, his health had really deteriorated. While visiting him in the nursing home, he said "I'm just so tired, I would just like to go to sleep and float away". Well, he passed away this morning. So Grandpa, may you be floating peacefully in the arms of God.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:16
