My Uncle David went to be with Jesus a couple of days ago. It was a very peaceful passing from this life to Heaven's gates. After suffering from Alzheimers for several years, it was time for him to be released. A kinder man I have not known. No foul thing or sarcastic speech came out of his mouth. He was a man with integrity and grace. He was the true, "Real men love Jesus" poster.
Uncle David was like Jesus with skin on…his touch was gentle, his speech soft and always an advocate for right and good and his laugh genuine. Knowing his hands and his arms were always available for hugs and comfort was a very important comfort to me growing up. So many years have passed and memories faded, but this I will never forget. I didn't feel much love growing up after Dad died. There were few folks I actually knew loved me and Uncle David was one even when I was in rebellion I would see his face, see his grin, hear is laugh and know I was loved.
The earth lost a great man of God, but Heaven has received a jewel. Finally, he gets his prize of the race he ran faithfully…slow and steady. Good job, Uncle David…tell Dad we'll see him soon.
