It's amazing how from the moment of birth we breathe the very breath of God that he breathed into Adam. As long as we live, we hold this piece of God within us, and when it's gone, our life is Gone... Another testament to our desparate need for God.

Lifeless
It's the strangest feeling to see a body that once had life to lie there with no breath. You begin to realize what a mystery life is, how when the cells of the body can no longer function the way they should, the person is just gone. The body is there, but that's not who they were. The person you loved, whom you think of fondly whom you were afraid of, whom you had grown distant from, whoever you remember, was in the life they had, not in their body.

It goes to show just how fragile our lives are. We are physical beings being sustained by biological processes, trusting that our imperfect bodies run smoothly like well-maintained machinery. But in the end, our bodies fall, but our spirit lives on. Our spirits get lifted up and we finally get taken home.
I'm praying for you brother. Your loss is heartfelt (I recently lost my grandpa too).
