Falling asleep and waking up

Today reminded of how fragile and precious life is. My favorite uncle died on Tuesday of this week. He always teased me as a child and always had neat gadgets for me when we visited him. not only was he a gadget man he was a puzzle and riddle man and he always tried to stump me.His personality reminded me most of my fathers hence the reason he was my favorite. He did live to a remarkable age of 101. Now for the rest of the story --his new great-grandaughter was born on the day he died and she was present at his funeral--isn't that how bittersweet life is !! It is however so much more sweet to those who have the blessed hope!! I know he had that hope in the Lord and walked with him many years.
