Charity's grandpa passed away earlier this month. He was a very hardworking Christian man. He lived well into his eighties and worked hard up until the very end. He passed away while mowing the lawn. Death is never good, but he did have a long, full and healthy life until the last.
Earlier this year he had suffered a heartattack and doctors suggested that he undergo surgery. He declined, as the risks involved being bed ridden for the rest of his life. He wanted no part of that. He was able to make such a decision, because there is something he valued more than life itself and he knew his hope lay beyond this life. Well, he has seen his Hope face to face, now.
My friend Molly took this photo when Charity's family was at Grace Central for Sam's baptism. Grandpa is the one rockin' the plaid jacket and bolo tie.
