" oh did you think i didn't know what a Eugooglie was?"

So I never thought in all my life I would be presenting a Eulogy for anyone, let alone my father. I think I did ok. I saw my brother with tears in his eyes and I had them in my eyes a couple of times. Planning a funeral is never easy but I swear having the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life has made it so easy to press on and feel the peace in my heart that I need right now in my life. At the viewing I wasn't scared only sad that my dad knew he was dying for a long time but didn't tell anyone including his wife. He promised that he would die doing service for the members of the church and he literally did just that. He was loading up his truck with bread for the members and took a break and went to heaven. He told the bishop two weeks before that they next time he saw the bishop it would be in heaven. The bishop thought that was weird but it was completely true. My dad was too sick to make it to church the sunday before he passed. It was awesome to see him in an all white casket with his complete temple clothes on with the American flag on the other half of the casket. With any luck, I will be presented with that flag at the burial. I have made a vow to have that flag as a reminder of my father and love for his country while he served in the Army. I will be leaving home tomorrow night once again to attend the burial in the VA cemetary on Tuesday morning. He was a hard man but I loved him and his soft heart.
