Gratitude Journal – Day 305 – May 3, 2015

37,475 days….
the days of his life… and I wish that I had known him better rather than a distant relative we heard about and occasionally saw at family functions. His name was Ralph, Uncle Ralph that is…
And I remember a tall man, a funny man, a kind man, a man who loved his family and gardening with a passion. And I am filled with sorrow and joy for his family. Sorrow because it is always sad to say goodbye, but at the same time joy as he walked this earth for many more years that most.
And today I am filled with gratitude for the man and the memory - Uncle Ralph, after 103 years, you deserve a rest. May you find gardens of peace and abundant joy with our Lord.
