Marni's Grandfather passed away today. I don't imagine there will be any rest in Heaven tonight. There is much work to be done, and a man who knows how to work has just arrived.
I finished a book tonight, Baden-Powell: The Two Lives of a Hero. Near the end there is a poem that I thought seemed good to share.
Few pioneers live long enough to see
what they have done;
Most men are glad if they can leave
the world a single son;
Did ever a man, before he died, see
such a dream come true?
Did any leave so many living
monuments as you?
A.P. Herbert
Grandpa is a hero to me. I did not know him for long, because I married into his family, but he taught me the value of hard work and of a strong testimony of Jesus Christ.
