You said a few things, if I may:<BR/><BR/><I> [he] never got to hear his voice, and my dad never got to see his own face and his own curly hair on our little girl </I><BR/><BR/><I>He should get to see Deacon dance on skype like the other grandparents </I><BR/><BR/>I'm no theologian by any means, but I think that somehow, God allows His children to see the things that would have brought them joy here on earth. I firmly beleive that your father <B>does</B> see Deacon dancing, and Madeline's curly hair. I beleive this with all my heart, Jenny, in the same way that I beleive that our grandfathers (whom we never met) got to watch Brandon and I, too. <BR/><BR/>God is so much bigger than we can possibly convieve - I think He's fully capable of making the connections from our hearts to the hearts of those children He's brought home to Him. I think His reach is that far, and I think He allows more connections that we think He does. <BR/><BR/>Just my two cents - I hope it helps a littleIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626533425723477030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-52939352706746892102008-07-23T09:01:00.000-05:002008-07-23T09:01:00.000-05:00I think you will always grieve the loss of your da...I think you will always grieve the loss of your dad. God made us to be in relationship with each other and when we are not, it really hurts - even though we know where our loved one is and that we will see them again. His design for us was not death, but life (and dang it, sin messed it up!). My grandmother died June 4th. She was so special to me. I find myself grieving for her at odd times and when I least expect it. But I am so thankful that I will rejoice with her in heaven one day. <BR/><BR/>Hugs!Schweers' Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613404218741599721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-87239032037175828222008-07-22T02:19:00.000-05:002008-07-22T02:19:00.000-05:00Jenny,I came across your blog just before your fat...Jenny,<BR/>I came across your blog just before your father passed (because I believe we're both on Intermissions). Anyway, I have been reading and praying. I was sad when you dad passed too. I'm having a similar experience. From this post, let me please give you a virtual *HUG* for your loss and for your preicous memories. I too grieve with you.<BR/><BR/>My mother passed away 3 months before I gave birth to my son and my daughter was 2y2m old. My mother favors boys and would have showered him so much with her love and 'prizes' as she calls gifts. I did take as many photos as I could of my mom and daughter. She didn't want her picture taken, but I know I needed the memories for my daughter. I want to second what you said. Take photos/video for memories to last. <BR/><BR/>I pray for you and please know it's ok to have days like this for sure! If you need to chat, let me know.<BR/><BR/>Love you guys and praying!<BR/>Jackie Davis and familyMrs. Jackie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849412723760824808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-4088818849152800592008-07-17T17:52:00.000-05:002008-07-17T17:52:00.000-05:00My mom passed away 16 years ago, and I still miss ...My mom passed away 16 years ago, and I still miss her!

It is amazing what we take for granted, even when we know what might be coming. Like you, my dad was sick for a very long time, but you just can't prepare for the void that their passing will cause. Especially when we think about our children, and that they will miss out on what a cool and amazing person our dads were. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Brandon and Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221768955457477824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-87870126572570265482008-07-15T13:33:00.000-05:002008-07-15T13:33:00.000-05:00Oh, Jenny, I know exactly how you are feeling as I...Oh, Jenny, I know exactly how you are feeling as I prepare to have Baby #3-- the first grandchild my Dad won't get to meet. I am so blessed (and I know he was too) that he got to meet my nephew and Tessa just a few weeks before he died. But the same thing has been on my mind lately. My heart hurts for you, in the same way it hurts for me. I'm greiveing right along with you... ~BeckyRob and Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657923885781291485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-26613387886025615932008-07-15T11:43:00.000-05:002008-07-15T11:43:00.000-05:00Thank Sarah!

I have had the exact same feelings about my MawMaw that past away almost 5 yrs ago. I am thankful she got to meet Madeline but she died when Maddy was 6mo old. She never got to meet Coleman (who is named after her - Moore was her maiden name and is his middle name). I hate that we moved back home 1 year after she died and that I would have driven by her house everyday on my way to work. She would have loved that I was a florist and I could have brought her flowers all the time. I still grieve for her sometimes and she was my grandmother not my mom or dad! I know you are sad my friend, I will be praying for you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289401934793162080noreply@blogger.com
