Treasure the Memories

He left us too quickly. Suddenly. As if it really was in the twinkling of an eye. One step on the sidewalk, the next one on the golden streets in Heaven. It is hard to wrap my earthly mind around this, but Roger's favorite Bible stories were about Enoch, Elijah and Elisha, so maybe this exit should not surprise me. I know God is faithful and that Roger believed that God numbered our days from beginning to end and in living every day fully and completely. He loved God. He loved people. I don't want to forget the lessons he taught me by living it. So I write.

Services

This is still so surreal and yet I feel so lovedand blessed. Did you ever wonder if you could actually 'feel' prayer. Trust me, it is possible. It is what is keeping me moving forward. I was wide awake at 4am This is Saturday and it would be his shift day. He never woke me up at 4 AM...but his rising early balanced out my need for beauty sleep. He loved the quiet of his morning, and his routine. This morning I was actually blessed to have had quiet moments thinking about the remarkable man God gave me....in the quiet of his early days. 

I don't even totally know what to expect as service time rolls around this morning. 

There will be family and friends, and I understand that the Fire Department has arranged a "Full Honor Guard and Escort"  I want to be able to take it all in.  The 'FINAL CALL' and 'FINAL BELL' will also take place today. This is gonna be tough.
