Another unwanted phone call this morning announced the reunion of our grandparents,
Jim and Rita Edgett. Together again, just six months to the day after Grandpa went
to meet the Savior he had lived his life for...
Gram lived 6 lonely months in anticipation of this day. Having never been separated for this long since he served in WWII, each day was one of deep longing...and hoping. Those of us looking on knew it would not be long. These two were meant to be together...
separation just did not become them.
Long ago they had joined in both heart and soul
...and life on earth was just not the same for her without him...
Finally, today the time came for her to dress in her heavenly finest and quietly join Pop again. The bittersweet picture in my head is one of him taking her hand once again and after a long embrace, leading her to the place where, for the first time, she will lay eyes on her Savior...and together they bow at His feet in thanksgiving and praise...
Together again...
