Thanks. That happened in 2007. Our first and only snowstorm didn't happen until 17 March. So, there is hope!!!

Reps: 727,303,356,286,854,400 (power: 727,303,356,286,863) | | | I got word Monday that my father had passed away. Several people spoke with him by telephone Saturday night and all report that he was fine then, but he was unusually absent from worship on Sunday morning. However a neighbor saw him sitting in his easy chair in the living room watching TV Sunday morning as he commonly does. He was found by the man delivering his lunch from Meals On Wheels on Monday slumped over in that same chair. The likelihood is that he went quickly and quietly, perhaps even in his sleep, though we will never know for sure. The coroner estimates he had probably been gone 24 hours.
We almost lost him in May of 2009. I was called to the hospital then, because he was found collapsed in his driveway. We were plainly told that while they might get him stable enough to eventually get out of ICU, it was unlikely he would live to be dismissed from the hospital itself. Even if that miracle did occur, 3 heart doctors told me that I should arrange for hospice care as he would never live to see another Christmas. Well, he saw three more. When I visited for his 86th birthday earlier this month, he still drove when we went out to dinner. And on Wednesday he attended an Ash Wednesday service to hear for the last time the words, "you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Today he celebrates Easter like I can only dream about. But that doesn't keep me from missing him. |

Ah, I feel for you. Thankfully, he surpassed all the doctors' warnings and you were able to have these extra years together.

And tell him that I’ve missed him.
And tell him all about the man that I became
And hope that it pleased him
There’s so much I want to say
There’s so much I want you to know
Chorus
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
Then I’ll gaze upon the throne of the King
Frozen in my steps
And all the questions that I swore I would ask
Words just won’t come yet
So amazed at what I’ve seen
So much more than this old mind can hold
Chorus
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
Bridge
And the sweetest sound my ears have yet to hear
Voices of the angels
Chorus
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
