Today we had the Celebration of Life for one of my fav people at church. He and my dad used to spar back and forth about the Bible and other things. Dad taught the Sunday School class and Jim would always have to disagree with dad. I sometimes think he did it just to get the discussion going. Jim was one person my dad always remembered after the dementia set in.
Because they lived a ways from church whenever his wife had to come to church for something, he would drive her, bring a book or Ipad and find a quiet place to either read or listen to some political thing on his Ipad. If I was there I always stopped by to chat for a few minutes that would turn into an hour or more. It was as if a bit of my dad was still here.
Jim was quite the character, you never knew what he was going to say or do. He will leave a large hole at church and in our hearts. Losing Jim was a bit like losing my dad all over again. I know those two are up there talking about things and disagreeing just because they could.
You two behave and I will see you again one day.
