My grandfather, Robert Gene Thomas, passed away in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
Which is an uncomfortably sterile way of saying that my Grandpa Bob is now with Jesus.
It is sad, and we will miss him, and finding the right words to describe him to my children someday will be an impossible task.
BUT.
He is pain-free for the first time in 40 years. He has a new body. He is walking the streets of heaven unassisted, with no walker, no cane, not even a limp. He is praising God in the presence of God.
Today I will watch football and drink a Diet Mountain Dew in memory of Grandpa Bob, knowing that I would trade my reality for his in a heartbeat.
