ninety nine.

We said good-bye to Mark's Grandpa this week.

He was 99 years old.

We've celebrated his life yesterday & today.  
He was ready to go home.  

Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
Psalm 84:10


We've talked a lot about God's timing this week and my mother-in-law put it so well: 
"It's amazing how God takes one life out of mercy and brings us joy thru death, 
and gives a life thru love and brings us joy through birth!!"

Thank you - it is hard to wrap my head around all that he lived through!
